What is wavlm-base-sv?
WavLM-base-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 X-Vector head and Additive Margin Softmax loss to create robust speaker embeddings. The model was pre-trained on 960 hours of LibriSpeech data and fine-tuned on the VoxCeleb1 dataset.
Implementation Details
The model implements a Transformer architecture with gated relative position bias, enhanced by an innovative utterance mixing training strategy. This approach creates overlapped utterances unsupervisedly during training, improving speaker discrimination capabilities.
