In large-scale deployments of speaker recognition systems the potential for legacy problems increases as the evolving technology may require configuration changes in the system thus invalidating already existing user voice accounts. Unless the entire database of original speech waveform were stored, users need to reenroll to keep their accounts functional, which, however, may be expensive and commercially not acceptable. Model migration is defined as a conversion of obsolete models to new-configuration models without additional data and waveform requirements. The present disclosure investigates ways to achieve such a migration with minimum loss of system accuracy.
