Disclaimer & Open-Source Reproduction Notice

This is not an officially supported Google product.

This model checkpoint and the accompanying FlaxSpeaker library are an independent, clean-room open-source reproduction in JAX/Flax of speaker recognition algorithms published in:

GE2E: Generalized End-to-End Loss for Speaker Verification (arXiv:1710.10467)

Dr-Vectors: Decision Residual Networks and an Improved Loss for Speaker Recognition (arXiv:2104.01989)

Conformer-ATP: Attentive Temporal Pooling for Conformer-based Streaming Language Identification in Long-form Speech (arXiv:2202.12163)

PFAS: Parameter-Free Attentive Scoring for Speaker Verification (arXiv:2203.05642v3)

The experiments in those original papers were conducted using Google's proprietary internal infrastructure and internal datasets, not this open-source library or public dataset split.

Quickstart Usage

Python API (from Hugging Face Hub or Local Directory)

from flaxspeaker import load_pretrained

model = load_pretrained("wq2012/cn_conformer_small_dr_vectors")
emb = model.extract_embedding("path/to/utterance.flac")
score = model.verify("path/to/enroll.flac", "path/to/test.flac")
print(f"Embedding shape: {emb.shape}, Verification score: {score:.4f}")

Command-Line Inference

python scripts/inference.py --model_dir wq2012/cn_conformer_small_dr_vectors \
    --enroll_audio path/to/enroll.flac --test_audio path/to/test.flac
