Exploring Second-Order Pattern Recognition in Speaker Recognition

The paper introduces the concept of second‑order patterns—latent structures that underlie a speaker recognition network’s classification of utterances. Using hierarchical clustering, the authors identify these patterns and interpret them with the HCCM method. They then propose a new task, second‑order pattern recognition, and present the HCNA method, which improves performance by matching unseen utterances to the extrapolation space of identified clusters.
