Summary
This chapter presents applications of graph embedding to the problem of text-independent speaker recognition. Speaker recognition is a general term encompassing multiple applications. At the core is the problem of speaker comparison-given two speech recordings (utterances), produce a score which measures speaker similarity. Using speaker comparison, other applications can be implemented-speaker clustering (grouping similar speakers in a corpus), speaker verification (verifying a claim of identity), speaker identification (identifying a speaker out of a list of potential candidates), and speaker retrieval (finding matches to a query set).
