We present improvements to speaker diarization in the two-stage end-to-end neural diarization with vector clustering (EEND-VC) framework. The first stage employs a Conformer-based EEND model with WavLM features to infer frame-level speaker…
End-to-end diarization presents an attractive alternative to standard cascaded diarization systems because a single system can handle all aspects of the task at once. Many flavors of end-to-end models have been proposed but all of them…
Existing speaker diarization systems typically rely on large amounts of manually annotated data, which is labor-intensive and difficult to obtain, especially in real-world scenarios. Additionally, language-specific constraints in these…
This paper details our speaker diarization system designed for multi-domain, multi-microphone casual conversations. The proposed diarization pipeline uses weighted prediction error (WPE)-based dereverberation as a front end, then applies…
Since the first speech recognition systems were built more than 30 years ago, improvement in voice technology has enabled applications such as smart assistants and automated customer support. However, conversation intelligence of the future…
Traditional speech separation and speaker diarization approaches rely on prior knowledge of target speakers or a predetermined number of participants in audio signals. To address these limitations, recent advances focus on developing…
Multi-talker overlapped speech recognition remains a significant challenge, requiring not only speech recognition but also speaker diarization tasks to be addressed. In this paper, to better address these tasks, we first introduce speaker…
This paper proposes a novel Sequence-to-Sequence Neural Diarization (S2SND) framework to perform online and offline speaker diarization. It is developed from the sequence-to-sequence architecture of our previous target-speaker voice…
In this paper, we present state-of-the-art diarization error rates (DERs) on multiple publicly available datasets, including AliMeeting-far, AliMeeting-near, AMI-Mix, AMI-SDM, DIHARD III, and MagicData RAMC. Leveraging EEND-TA, a single…
Speaker diarization has been investigated extensively as an important central task for meeting analysis. Recent trend shows that integration of end-to-end neural (EEND)-and clustering-based diarization is a promising approach to handle…
This work presents a novel approach for speaker diarization to leverage lexical information provided by automatic speech recognition. We propose a speaker diarization system that can incorporate word-level speaker turn probabilities with…
In this paper we describe a speaker diarization system that enables localization and identification of all speakers present in a conversation or meeting. We propose a novel systematic approach to tackle several long-standing challenges in…
The performance of speaker verification degrades significantly when the test speech is corrupted by interference speakers. Speaker diarization does well to separate speakers if the speakers are temporally overlapped. However, if…
In this paper, we make the explicit connection between image segmentation methods and end-to-end diarization methods. From these insights, we propose a novel, fully end-to-end diarization model, EEND-M2F, based on the Mask2Former…
Speech foundation models have shown strong transferability across a wide range of speech applications. However, their robustness to age-related domain shift in speaker diarization remains underexplored. In this work, we present a…
Speaker diarization is an important pre-processing step for many speech applications, and it aims to solve the "who spoke when" problem. Although the standard diarization systems can achieve satisfactory results in various scenarios, they…
We address the problem of effectively handling overlapping speech in a diarization system. First, we detail a neural Long Short-Term Memory-based architecture for overlap detection. Secondly, detected overlap regions are exploited in…
Accurate transcription and speaker diarization of child-adult spoken interactions are crucial for developmental and clinical research. However, manual annotation is time-consuming and challenging to scale. Existing automated systems…
Until recently, the field of speaker diarization was dominated by cascaded systems. Due to their limitations, mainly regarding overlapped speech and cumbersome pipelines, end-to-end models have gained great popularity lately. One of the…
Speaker extraction and diarization are two enabling techniques for real-world speech applications. Speaker extraction aims to extract a target speaker's voice from a speech mixture, while speaker diarization demarcates speech segments by…
