Speaker-Attributed Automatic Speech Recognition (SAA) enhances traditional ASR systems by incorporating relative speaker identity tags directly into the transcript (e.g., [Speaker 1]:, [Speaker 2]:). In this work, we extend the capabilities…

Speech applications dealing with conversations require not only recognizing the spoken words, but also determining who spoke when. The task of assigning words to speakers is typically addressed by merging the outputs of two separate…
