VoxBlink: X-Large Speaker Verification Dataset on Camera

In this paper, we contribute a novel and extensive dataset for speaker verification, which contains noisy 38k identities/1.45M utterances (VoxBlink) and relatively cleaned 18k identities/1.02M (VoxBlink-Clean) utterances for training. Firstly, we accumulate a 60K+ users' list with their avatars and download their short videos on YouTube. We then established an automatic and scalable pipeline to extract relevant speech and video segments from these videos. To our knowledge, the VoxBlink dataset is one of the largest speaker recognition datasets available. Secondly, we conduct a series of experiments based on different backbones trained on a mix of the VoxCeleb2 and the VoxBlink-Clean. Our findings highlight a notable performance improvement, ranging from 13% to 30%, across different backbone architectures upon integrating our dataset for training. The dataset will be made publicly available shortly.
