Text-independent speaker recognition is widely used in identity recognition that has a wide spectrum of applications, such as criminal investigation, payment certification, and interest-based customer services. In order to improve the recognition ability of log filter bank feature vectors, a method of text-independent speaker recognition based on deep residual networks model was proposed in this paper. The deep residual network was composed of a residual network (ResNet) and a convolutional attention statistics pooling (CASP) layer. The CASP layer could aggregate frame-level features from the ResNet into an utterance-level features. Extracting speech features for each speaker using deep residual networks was a promising direction to explore, and a straightforward solution was to train the discriminative feature extraction network by using a margin-based loss function. However, a margin-based loss function often has certain limitations, such as the margins between different categories were set to be the same and fixed. Thus, we used an adaptive curriculum learning loss (ACLL) to address the problem and introduce two different margin-based losses for this problem, i.e., AM-Softmax and AAM-Softmax. The proposed method was applied to a large-scale VoxCeleb2 dataset for extensive text-independent speaker recognition experiments, and average equal error rate (EER) could achieve 1.76% on VoxCeleb1 test dataset, 1.91% on VoxCeleb1-E test dataset, and 3.24% on VoxCeleb1-H test dataset. Compared with related speaker recognition methods, EER was improved by 1.11% on VoxCeleb1 test dataset, 1.04% on VoxCeleb1-E test dataset, and 1.69% on VoxCeleb1-H test dataset.

Text-independent speaker recognition is widely used in identity recognition. In order to improve the features recognition ability, a method of text-independent speaker recognition based on a deep residual network model was proposed in this paper. Firstly, the original audio was extracted with a 64-dimensional log filter bank signal features. Secondly, a deep residual network was used to extract log filter bank signal features. The deep residual network was composed of a residual network and a Convolutional Attention Statistics Pooling (CASP) layer. The CASP layer could aggregate the frame-level features from the residual network into utterance-level features. Lastly, Adaptive Curriculum Learning Loss (ACLL) classifiers was used to optimize the output of abstract features by the deep residual network, and the text-independent speaker recognition was completed by ACLL classifiers. The proposed method was applied to a large VoxCeleb2 dataset for extensive text-independent speaker recognition experiments, and average equal error rate (EER) could achieve 1.76% on VoxCeleb1 test dataset, 1.91% on VoxCeleb1-E test dataset, and 3.24% on VoxCeleb1-H test dataset.
