Hello,
given trained background model, what is the simplest way to train additional single speaker, and then to verify this single speaker with another utterance? Any tools to use?

Hello,

One possibility is to use the xbob.db.verification.filelist package.
Spear runs a complete evaluation on a specific dataset.

This xbob.db.verification.filelist package allows you to use your own customized lists for training, speaker enrollment and probing.
Inside the spear package, you have examples on how to define such lists, e.g.:
https://github.com/bioidiap/spear/tree/master/protocols/timit/2

In your case, you will have to:
1. Put the trained background model at the location spear is supposed to generate it. This way it won't be regenerated and only used for the next processing steps.
2. Define your customized lists: in the 'dev' (cf. https://github.com/bioidiap/spear/tree/master/protocols/timit/2/dev) directory,
   2.a. create the 'for_models.lst' with the file(s) you want to use for speaker enrollment and
   2.b. create the 'for_scores.lst' with the file(s) you want to use for probing the speaker model(s)
3. Create a configuration file for this database (e.g.: https://github.com/bioidiap/spear/blob/master/config/database/timit.py)
4. Run spear using this database configuration file and selecting the output directories, such as the pre-trained background model can be successfully read.

Cheers,
Laurent
