| Popis: | Contrastive self-supervised learning (CSL) for speaker verification (SV) has drawn increasing interest recently due to its ability to exploit unlabeled data. Performing data augmentation on raw waveforms, such as adding noise or reverberation, plays a pivotal role in achieving promising results in SV. Data augmentation, however, demands meticulous calibration to ensure intact speaker-specific information, which is difficult to achieve without speaker labels. To address this issue, we introduce a novel framework by incorporating clean and augmented segments into the contrastive training pipeline. The clean segments are repurposed to pair with noisy segments to form additional positive and negative pairs. Moreover, the contrastive loss is weighted to increase the difference between the clean and augmented embeddings of different speakers. Experimental results on Voxceleb1 suggest that the proposed framework can achieve a remarkable 19% improvement over the conventional methods, and it surpasses many existing state-of-the-art techniques.
