Speaker verification method based on deep information divergence maximization by Chen CHEN, Yafeng RONG, Chaoqun JI, Deyun CHEN, Yongjun HE

“…To solve the problem that the nonlinear relationship between speaker representations cannot be accurately captured in speaker verification, an objective function based on depth information divergence maximization was proposed.It could implicitly represent the nonlinear relationship between speaker representations by calculating the similarity between their distributions.Under the supervision of the optimization goal of maximizing the statistical correlation, the deep neural network was optimized towards the direction that the within-class data was more compact and the between-class data were far away from each other, and finally the discrimination of deep speaker representation space could be effectively improved.Experimental results show that compared with other deep learning methods, the relative EER of the proposed method is reduced by 15.80% at most, which significantly improves the system performance.…”

Global efficiency estimation method of complex network based on fractal property by Sheng ZHANG, Weikai DAI, Feng WU, Wenxiang LAN

“…A method of network efficiency estimation based on fractal property was proposed for solving the problems of high complexity and time-consuming calculation of efficiency in large scale networks.Considering the fractal properties of complex network topology,the relationship between network efficiency and node correlation sum was analyzed,and the global network efficiency was estimated by partial nodes.Besides,to rapidly find the fractal properties of complex networks,a fractal property discrimination method based on node correlation sum was proposed.The experimental analysis in the construction network and the real-world network show that the proposed method can accurately and effectively estimate the global efficiency of the network,which reduces the calculation time by at least 90% compared with the original method.…”
