Abstract

The present disclosure proposes a federated speaker verification method based on differential privacy, including: 1. performing, by a server, UBM pre-training to obtain an initial UBM; 2. receiving, by the client, the pre-trained initial UBM, and performing initial UBM learning based on local private speech data; 3. performing, by the client, differential privacy protection based on learned statistics; 4. aggregating, by the server, statistics uploaded by multiple clients, and updating the initial UBM; and 5. receiving, by the client, the updated UBM, performing adjustment based on the local private speech data to obtain a GMM for a user of the client, and determining, based on the updated UBM and the GMM, whether a to-be-verified speech is generated by the user of the client.
