One of the most important parts of a text-independent speaker verification system is speaker embedding generation. Previous studies demonstrated that shortcut connections-based multi-layer aggregation improves the representational power of a speaker embedding system. However, model parameters are relatively large in number, and unspecified variations increase in the multi-layer aggregation. Therefore, in this study, we propose a self-attentive multi-layer aggregation with feature recalibration and deep length normalization for a text-independent speaker verification system. To reduce the number of model parameters, we set the ResNet with the scaled channel width and layer depth as a baseline. To control the variability in the training, we apply a self-attention mechanism to perform multi-layer aggregation with dropout regularizations and batch normalizations. Subsequently, we apply a feature recalibration layer to the aggregated feature using fully-connected layers and nonlinear activation functions. Further, deep length normalization is used on a recalibrated feature in the training process. Experimental results using the VoxCeleb1 evaluation dataset showed that the performance of the proposed methods was comparable to that of state-of-the-art models (equal error rate of 4.95% and 2.86%, using the VoxCeleb1 and VoxCeleb2 training datasets, respectively).
