Syntax

sr = speakerRecognition

Description

sr = speakerRecognition returns a pretrained speaker recognition system, 'ivec-english-16kHz'. The 'ivec-english-16kHz' system is an instance of an object of type ivectorSystem trained on the LibriSpeech data set.

This example uses a pretrained speaker recognition system, 'ivec-english-16kHz'. The 'ivec-english-16kHz' system is an instance of ivectorSystem trained on the LibriSpeech data set.

Download the pretrained speaker recognition system into your temporary directory, whose location is specified by the MATLAB® tempdir command. If you want to place the data files in a folder different from tempdir, change the directory name. Add the temporary directory to the search path. Create an i-vector system.

fname = "ivec-english-16kHz.zip";
URL = "https://ssd.mathworks.com/supportfiles/audio/speakerRecognition/" + fname;

unzip(URL,tempdir);

addpath(tempdir)

sr = speakerRecognition;

Read two speech signals, each of which contains the phrase "volume up" spoken out loud several times with different intonations. In one of the signals, the speaker is male. In the other signal, the speaker is female.

Read each signal and split it into two parts. One of the parts is used to enroll the speaker. The other part is used for speaker verification and identification.

[bf,fs] = audioread("MaleVolumeUp-16-mono-6secs.ogg");
enrollBF = bf(1:3*fs);
testBF = bf(3*fs+1:end);
bfLabel = "BF";

[rd,fs] = audioread("FemaleVolumeUp-16-mono-11secs.ogg");
enrollRD = rd(1:5*fs);
testRD = rd(5*fs+1:end);
rdLabel = "RD";

Enroll the speakers into the speaker recognition system. This creates a template of the speaker that can be used for verification or identification.

 enroll(sr,{enrollBF,enrollRD},[bfLabel,rdLabel])
Extracting i-vectors ...done.
Enrolling i-vectors .....done.
Enrollment complete.

Call the identify function on the test data.

candidates = identify(sr,testBF)
candidates=2×2 table
    Label      Score  
    _____    _________

     BF        0.99474
     RD      0.0017846


candidates = identify(sr,testRD)
candidates=2×2 table
    Label      Score   
    _____    __________

     RD         0.24113
     BF      3.2741e-05

Call the verify function with the test data to confirm that the system correctly accepts or rejects speakers.

isVerified = verify(sr,testBF,bfLabel)
isVerified = logical
   1


isVerified = verify(sr,testBF,rdLabel)
isVerified = logical
   0


isVerified = verify(sr,testRD,rdLabel)
isVerified = logical
   1


isVerified = verify(sr,testRD,bfLabel)
isVerified = logical
   0

Call the info function to get information about how the model was trained.

Header
  - This system was trained using the LibriSpeech train and development sets.
  LibriSpeech is an approximately 1000-hour corpus of read English speech sampled at 16 kHz.
  - The detection error tradeoff was determined by enrolling one file from each speaker in the 
  LibriSpeech test set, and then evaluating exhaustive pairs of the enrolled and remaining data.
  - The system was calibrated using the train-clean-100 and dev-clean data of LibriSpeech.
