π― MFCC + DTW Pipeline
Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC):
- Extracts spectral features that mimic human auditory perception
- Computes 13 coefficients representing the power spectrum
- Captures phonetic characteristics of speech
Dynamic Time Warping (DTW):
- Measures similarity between temporal sequences
- Handles variable-length utterances
- Robust to speed variations in speech
# MFCC Extraction
mfcc = librosa.feature.mfcc(y, sr)
# DTW Distance Calculation
dist, cost, acc_cost, path = dtw(x.T, y.T, dist=lambda x, y: norm(x - y, ord=2))π§ Resemblyzer CNN
Pre-trained Speaker Encoder:
- Based on GE2E (Generalized End-to-End) loss
- Trained on thousands of speakers
- Generates 256-dimensional embeddings
- Captures speaker-specific characteristics
Advantages:
- π Fast inference (~0.1s per utterance)
- π― High accuracy on unseen speakers
- πͺ Robust to background noise
- π§ No fine-tuning required
# Voice Embedding
encoder = VoiceEncoder('cpu')
wav = preprocess_wav(fpath)
embed = encoder.embed_utterance(wav)π₯ Score-Level Fusion
Fusion Strategy:
- Normalization: Apply tanh normalization to both scores
- Weighted Combination:
fusion_score = Ξ± Γ CNN_score + (1-Ξ±) Γ MFCC_score - Optimization: Exhaustive search to find optimal Ξ± (typically 0.7)
- Decision: Compare against learned threshold
Benefits:
- β Leverages strengths of both methods
- β Compensates for individual weaknesses
- β Improved robustness
- β Higher overall accuracy
# Score Fusion

Steps:
- Pre-emphasis: Apply high-pass filter
- Framing: Divide signal into short frames
- Windowing: Apply Hamming window
- FFT: Compute power spectrum
- Mel Filtering: Apply mel-scale filterbank
- Log: Take logarithm
- DCT: Discrete Cosine Transform
Formula:
MFCC(k) = Ξ£ log(S(m)) Γ cos(k(m - 0.5)Ο/M)
π Dynamic Time Warping
DTW Distance:
DTW(X, Y) = min Ξ£ d(x_i, y_j) over all warping paths
Properties:
- Handles temporal misalignment
- Symmetric: DTW(X,Y) = DTW(Y,X)
- Satisfies triangle inequality
π§ Speaker Embedding (Resemblyzer)
Architecture:
- 3-layer LSTM network
- Projects utterances to 256-D embedding space
- Trained with GE2E loss function
Loss Function:
L = Ξ£ [1 - cos(e_i, c_i) + max(cos(e_i, c_k) - cos(e_i, c_i) + m)]
π₯ Score Fusion
Tanh Normalization:
normalized(x) = 0.5 Γ (tanh(0.01 Γ (x - ΞΌ) / Ο) + 1)
Weighted Fusion:
score_fusion = Ξ± Γ score_CNN + (1 - Ξ±) Γ score_MFCC
Optimal Weight (found through grid search): Ξ± = 0.7
