Abstract:Automatic speaker recognition (ASpR) has been integrated into critical applications, ranging from customised assistant services to security systems and forensic investigations. It aims to automatically determine whether two voice samples originate from the same speaker. These systems primarily rely on complex deep neural networks (DNN) and present their results by a single value. Despite the high performance demonstrated by DNN-based ASpR systems, they struggle to provide transparent insights into the nature of speech representations, its encoding, and its use in decision-making process. This lack of transparency presents significant challenges in addressing ethical and legal Plus d'infos
