Densely Connected Time Delay Neural Network

PyTorch implementation of Densely Connected Time Delay Neural Network (D-TDNN) in our paper "Densely Connected Time Delay Neural Network for Speaker Verification" (INTERSPEECH 2020).

News

• [2023-05-04] 3D-Speaker supports training of CAM++ model and can be easily extended to support training of raw D-TDNN and CAM models. They also released a Chinese speaker embedding model trained on 200k speakers and an English speaker embedding model trained on VoxCeleb.

• [2023-03-04] CAM++ achieved superior performance with lower computational complexity and faster inference speed than popular ECAPA-TDNN and ResNet34 systems.

• [2021-09-05] TimeDelay is replaced by Conv1d by default, since convolution is better optimized in all kinds of deep learning frameworks (Note: The pretrained models are directly converted from the old ones so that the results might be slightly different from those in the paper).

• [2021-08-28] D-TDNN and D-TDNN-SS outperform SOTA system on the AP20-OLR-dialect-task of oriental language recognition (OLR) challenge 2020 (WeChat artical / paper), showing their potential on other speech processing tasks.

• [2021-02-01] CAM adopts D-TDNN backbone and is enhanced by context-aware masking.

Pretrained Models

We provide the pretrained models which can be used in many tasks such as:

• Speaker Verification
• Speaker-Dependent Speech Separation
• Multi-Speaker Text-to-Speech
• Voice Conversion

Usage

Data preparation

You can either use Kaldi toolkit:

• Download VoxCeleb1 test set and unzip it.
• Place prepare_voxceleb1_test.sh under $kaldi_root/egs/voxceleb/v2 and change the $datadir and $voxceleb1_root in it.
• Run chmod +x prepare_voxceleb1_test.sh && ./prepare_voxceleb1_test.sh to generate 30-dim MFCCs.
• Place the trials under $datadir/test_no_sil.

Or checkout the kaldifeat branch if you do not want to install Kaldi.

Test

• Download the pretrained D-TDNN model and run:

python evaluate.py --root $datadir/test_no_sil --model D-TDNN --checkpoint dtdnn.pth --device cuda
