Original Abstract

In this paper, we present the winning BUT submission for the text-dependent task of the SdSV challenge 2020. Given the large amount of training data available in this challenge, we explore successful techniques from text-independent systems in the text-dependent scenario. In particular, we trained x-vector extractors on both in-domain and out-of-domain datasets and combine them with i-vectors trained on concatenated MFCCs and bottleneck features, which have proven effective for the text-dependent scenario. Moreover, we proposed the use of phrase-dependent PLDA backend for scoring and its combination with a simple phrase recognizer, which brings up to 63% relative improvement on our development set with respect to using standard PLDA. Finally, we combine our different i-vector and x-vector based systems using a simple linear logistic regression score level fusion, which provides 28% relative improvement on the evaluation set with respect to our best single system.
