  This paper summarizes the applied deep learning practices in the field of
speaker recognition, both verification and identification. Speaker recognition
has been a widely used field topic of speech technology. Many research works
have been carried out and little progress has been achieved in the past 5-6
years. However, as deep learning techniques do advance in most machine learning
fields, the former state-of-the-art methods are getting replaced by them in
speaker recognition too. It seems that DL becomes the now state-of-the-art
solution for both speaker verification and identification. The standard
x-vectors, additional to i-vectors, are used as baseline in most of the novel
works. The increasing amount of gathered data opens up the territory to DL,
where they are the most effective.
