Spkrec Ecapa Cnceleb
Spkrec Ecapa Cnceleb is a speaker verification model that uses ECAPA-TDNN embeddings to identify speakers. It's trained on a large dataset called cnceleb and can extract speaker embeddings from audio recordings. The model is efficient and can perform speaker verification using cosine distance between speaker embeddings. It's also easy to use, with a simple installation process and a straightforward API for computing speaker embeddings and performing verification. The model is optimized for 16kHz single-channel recordings and can automatically normalize audio inputs. It's a great choice for applications that require accurate speaker verification, such as voice assistants or security systems.

Model Overview
The ECAPA-TDNN Speaker Verification model is a powerful tool for speaker verification tasks. It’s trained on a large dataset of speech recordings, which allows it to learn the unique characteristics of different speakers.
How it Works
The model uses a combination of convolutional and residual blocks to extract speaker embeddings from audio recordings. These embeddings are then used to verify whether two recordings are from the same speaker.
Capabilities
- Speaker Verification: The model can verify if two audio recordings are from the same speaker or not.
- Speaker Embeddings: It can extract speaker embeddings, which are unique representations of a speaker’s voice.
Strengths
- High Accuracy: The model has been trained on a large dataset and achieves excellent performance on the cnceleb1-test set.
- Efficient: It uses attentive statistical pooling to extract embeddings, making it efficient and effective.
Key Features
- Trained on a large dataset of speech recordings
- Uses attentive statistical pooling to extract speaker embeddings
- Trained with Additive Margin Softmax Loss
- Performs speaker verification using cosine distance between speaker embeddings
Performance
The model achieves an EER of 2.44% on the cnceleb1-test set (Cleaned). This means that it’s highly accurate in verifying speakers.
Getting Started
To use the model, you’ll need to install SpeechBrain using pip install speechbrain. You can then use the EncoderClassifier class to extract speaker embeddings from audio recordings.
Example Code
import torchaudio
from speechbrain.pretrained import EncoderClassifier
classifier = EncoderClassifier.from_hparams(source="LanceaKing/spkrec-ecapa-cnceleb")
signal, fs = torchaudio.load('samples/audio_samples/example1.wav')
embeddings = classifier.encode_batch(signal)
Limitations
The model is not guaranteed to perform well on other datasets, and the SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on its performance.
Format
The model expects audio files in a specific format, which includes:
- Sampling rate: 16kHz
- Channels: Single channel (mono)
- Format: WAV or FLAC
If your audio files don’t meet these requirements, you’ll need to preprocess them before using the model.
Preprocessing Audio Files
If your audio files don’t meet the model’s input requirements, you’ll need to preprocess them before using the model. Here’s an example of how to resample an audio file to 16kHz:
import torchaudio
signal, fs = torchaudio.load('samples/audio_samples/example1.wav')
resampled_signal = torchaudio.transforms.Resample(fs, 16000)(signal)
