What is wavlm-base-plus-sv?
WavLM-base-plus-sv is a specialized speech processing model designed for speaker verification tasks. Built on Microsoft's WavLM architecture, it combines self-supervised learning with an innovative utterance mixing strategy to achieve superior speaker identification capabilities. The model processes 16kHz sampled speech audio and has been fine-tuned specifically for speaker verification using the VoxCeleb1 dataset.
Implementation Details
The model architecture is based on the HuBERT framework with several key enhancements. It utilizes a gated relative position bias in its Transformer structure and implements an X-Vector head with Additive Margin Softmax loss for speaker verification tasks. The model was pre-trained on a massive dataset of 94,000 hours of speech data and fine-tuned specifically for speaker verification.
