In this document we are going to derive the equations needed to implement a Variational Bayes i-vector extractor. This can be used to extract longer i-vectors reducing the risk of overfittig or to adapt an i-vector extractor from a database to another with scarce development data. This work is based on Patrick Kenny's joint factor analysis and Christopher Bishop's variational principal components.
