  In this article we propose a novel approach for adapting speaker embeddings
to new domains based on adversarial training of neural networks. We apply our
embeddings to the task of text-independent speaker verification, a challenging,
real-world problem in biometric security. We further the development of
end-to-end speaker embedding models by combing a novel 1-dimensional,
self-attentive residual network, an angular margin loss function and
adversarial training strategy. Our model is able to learn extremely compact,
64-dimensional speaker embeddings that deliver competitive performance on a
number of popular datasets using simple cosine distance scoring. One the
NIST-SRE 2016 task we are able to beat a strong i-vector baseline, while on the
Speakers in the Wild task our model was able to outperform both i-vector and
x-vector baselines, showing an absolute improvement of 2.19% over the latter.
Additionally, we show that the integration of adversarial training consistently
leads to a significant improvement over an unadapted model.
