Speaker diarization for real-life scenarios is an extremely challenging problem. Widely used clustering-based diarization approaches perform rather poorly in such conditions, mainly due to the limited ability to handle overlapping speech.…

In multi-speaker applications is common to have pre-computed models from enrolled speakers. Using these models to identify the instances in which these speakers intervene in a recording is the task of speaker tracking. In this paper, we…

This work presents a novel approach to leverage lexical information for speaker diarization. We introduce a speaker diarization system that can directly integrate lexical as well as acoustic information into a speaker clustering process.…
