The ReturnZero System for VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge 2022

In this paper, we describe the top-scoring submissions for team RTZR VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenge 2022 (VoxSRC-22) in the closed dataset, speaker verification Track 1. The top performed system is a fusion of 7 models, which contains 3 different types of model architectures. We focus on training models to learn extra-temporal information. Therefore, all models were trained with 4-6 second frames for each utterance. Also, we apply the Large Margin Fine-tuning strategy which has shown good performance on the previous challenges for some of our fusion models. While the evaluation process, we apply the scoring methods with adaptive symmetric normalization (AS-Norm) and matrix score average (MSA). Finally, we mix up models with logistic regression to fuse all the trained models. The final submission achieves 0.165 DCF and 2.912% EER on the VoxSRC22 test set.

Deep Composer Classification Using Symbolic Representation

In this study, we train deep neural networks to classify composer on a symbolic domain. The model takes a two-channel two-dimensional input, i.e., onset and note activations of time-pitch representation, which is converted from MIDI recordings and performs a single-label classification. On the experiments conducted on MAESTRO dataset, we report an F1 value of 0.8333 for the classification of 13~classical composers.
