Disclaimer & Open-Source Reproduction Notice

This is not an officially supported Google product.

This model checkpoint and the accompanying FlaxSpeaker library are an independent, clean-room open-source reproduction in JAX/Flax of speaker recognition algorithms published in: - GE2E: Generalized End-to-End Loss for Speaker Verification (arXiv:1710.10467) - Dr-Vectors: Decision Residual Networks and an Improved Loss for Speaker Recognition (arXiv:2104.01989) - Conformer-ATP: Attentive Temporal Pooling for Conformer-based Streaming Language Identification in Long-form Speech (arXiv:2202.12163) - PFAS: Parameter-Free Attentive Scoring for Speaker Verification (arXiv:2203.05642v3)

The experiments in those original papers were conducted using Google's proprietary internal infrastructure and internal datasets, not this open-source library or public dataset split.

Model Summary

Model Files Included

• model.safetensors: Primary model weights in SafeTensors format
• flax_model.msgpack: Native Flax Msgpack serialized parameters
• config.json: FlaxSpeakerConfig model & training architecture configuration
• preprocessor_config.json: WhisperFeatureExtractor-compatible frontend configuration
• eval_results.json: Verified multi-domain evaluation metrics (1-utt & 3-utt EER, minDCF, ROC-AUC, 95% bootstrap CIs)
• model_fp32.tflite: Exported FP32 TensorFlow Lite model for edge/mobile CPU inference
• model_int8.tflite: Dynamic-range INT8 quantized TensorFlow Lite model (~3.5x smaller)

Quickstart Usage

Python API (from Hugging Face Hub or Local Directory)

from flaxspeaker import load_pretrained

model = load_pretrained("wq2012/ls_ecapa_tdnn_small_ge2e")
emb = model.extract_embedding("path/to/utterance.flac")
score = model.verify("path/to/enroll.flac", "path/to/test.flac")
print(f"Embedding shape: {emb.shape}, Verification score: {score:.4f}")

Command-Line Inference

python scripts/inference.py --model_dir wq2012/ls_ecapa_tdnn_small_ge2e \
    --enroll_audio path/to/enroll.flac --test_audio path/to/test.flac
