ECAPATDNN Save

Introduction

This repository contains my unofficial reimplementation of the standard ECAPA-TDNN, which is the speaker recognition in VoxCeleb2 dataset.

This repository is modified based on voxceleb_trainer.

Best Performance in this project (with AS-norm)

Notice, this result is in the Vox1_O clean list, for Vox1_O Noise list: EER is 1.00 and minDCF is 0.0713.

System Description

I have uploaded the system description, please check the Session 3, ECAPA-TDNN SYSTEM.

Dependencies

Note: That is the setting based on my device, you can modify the torch and torchaudio version based on your device.

Start from building the environment

conda create -n ECAPA python=3.7.9 anaconda
conda activate ECAPA
pip install -r requirements.txt

Start from the existing environment

pip install -r requirements.txt

Data preparation

Please follow the official code to perpare your VoxCeleb2 dataset from the 'Data preparation' part in this repository.

Dataset for training usage:

1. VoxCeleb2 training set;

2. MUSAN dataset;

3. RIR dataset.

Dataset for evaluation:

1. VoxCeleb1 test set for Vox1_O

2. VoxCeleb1 train set for Vox1_E and Vox1_H (Optional)

Training

Then you can change the data path in the trainECAPAModel.py. Train ECAPA-TDNN model end-to-end by using:

python trainECAPAModel.py --save_path exps/exp1 

Every test_step epoches, system will be evaluated in Vox1_O set and print the EER.

The result will be saved in exps/exp1/score.txt. The model will saved in exps/exp1/model

In my case, I trained 80 epoches in one 3090 GPU. Each epoch takes 37 mins, the total training time is about 48 hours.

Pretrained model

Our pretrained model performs EER: 0.96 in Vox1_O set without AS-norm, you can check it by using:

python trainECAPAModel.py --eval --initial_model exps/pretrain.model

With AS-norm, this system performs EER: 0.86. We will not update this code recently since no enough time for this work. I suggest you the following paper if you want to add AS-norm or other norm methods:

Matejka, Pavel, et al. "Analysis of Score Normalization in Multilingual Speaker Recognition." INTERSPEECH. 2017.

We also update the score.txt file in exps/pretrain_score.txt, it contains the training loss, training acc and EER in Vox1_O in each epoch for your reference.
