In this paper, we hypothesize that speaker identity is composed of various vocal style factors that may be learned from unlabeled data and re-combined using a neural network to generate a holistic speaker identity representation for affective scenarios. In this regard, we propose the E-Vector architecture, composed of a 1-D CNN for learning speaker identity features and a vocal style factorization technique for determining vocal styles. Experiments conducted on the MSP-Podcast dataset demonstrate that the proposed architecture improves state-of-the-art speaker recognition accuracy in the affective domain over baseline ECAPA-TDNN speaker recognition models. For instance, the true match rate at a false match rate of 1% improves from 27.6% to 46.2%.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.07997v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.07997v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"vocal-style-factorization-for-effective","repo_url":"https://github.com/morganlee123/evector","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"speaker-recognition","task_name":"Speaker Recognition"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
