The paper introduces 3D-Speaker, a large-scale corpus with over 10,000 speakers, specifically designed for speech representation disentanglement by providing explicit labels for recording devices, distances, and dialects. Benchmarking state-of-the-art models on this dataset quantifies the challenges in disentangling these speech attributes, demonstrating that cross-dialect speaker verification is particularly difficult.

Key insights

  • The corpus's design, with controlled variations across device, distance, and dialect, provides an intrinsic environment for studying and developing methods to untangle speech representations.
  • 3D-Speaker serves as a valuable resource for advancing research in out-of-domain generalization, self-supervised learning, and the comprehensive evaluation of large, universal speech models.
  • By addressing the significant data bottleneck, the dataset enables the speech research community to focus on developing sophisticated algorithmic solutions for disentanglement, crucial for robust speech technologies.
