This paper describes the STCON system for the CHiME-8 Challenge Task 1 (DASR) aimed at distant automatic speech transcription and diarization with multiple recording devices. Our main attention was paid to carefully trained and tuned…

The evolving speech processing landscape is increasingly focused on complex scenarios like meetings or cocktail parties with multiple simultaneous speakers and far-field conditions. Existing methodologies for addressing these challenges…

Speaker diarization is a task to label an audio or video recording with the identity of the speaker at each given time stamp. In this work, we propose a novel machine learning framework to conduct real-time multi-speaker diarization and…
