AirCaps AI

AirCaps Speaker ID: Speaker ID (speaker identification) in
real-world noise.

A 17M-parameter speaker identification model evaluated on clean speech, environmental noise, and music: 3.11% overall EER, versus 5.06% for TitaNet Large.

Evaluation

Three test variants

A clean baseline plus environmental noise and music.

Results across clean and noisy test sets.

We score speaker ID as speaker verification, using equal error rate (EER), the error rate at which false acceptances equal false rejections, on VoxCeleb1-O utterances. Noisy variants mix each utterance with MUSAN environmental noise or music at −10 and −5 dB SNR, so the noise is louder than the speech.

Equal error rate (EER). Noise results include only cases where noise is louder than speech: −10 and −5 dB source SNR. Overall is the unweighted mean of clean plus four noisy conditions.
