Abstract

In this paper, we propose a centroid similarity loss (CSL) with adaptive gradient blending (AGB) (denoted as CSL-with-AGB) strategy to improve the generalization of a spoken language identification (LID) system to unseen target domain conditions. Unlike most of the existing approaches, the proposed CSL-with-AGB can improve the generalization even when the training dataset lacks domain-diversity. Specifically, in this approach, the LID network first analyses the input at two different temporal resolutions using a set of two embedding extractors, which allow them to generalize better by encoding complementary contents. We then propose to use the CSL to further improve the generalization of the network by encouraging the embedding extractors to learn discriminative and domain-invariant embeddings. However, application of auxiliary loss like CSL can sometimes force the two embedding extractors of the network to learn in an unbalanced way, diminishing their ability to encode complementary contents in the input. To overcome this issue, we propose to include the AGB strategy with the CSL. With the help of two auxiliary classifiers attached to the two embedding extractors, the AGB monitors and guides them to have a balanced learning, leading to enhanced performance in unseen target domain conditions.
