This work proposes a frame-wise online/streaming end-to-end neural diarization (EEND) method, which detects speaker activities in a frame-in-frame-out fashion. The proposed model mainly consists of a causal embedding encoder and an online…
Overlapped speech is notoriously problematic for speaker diarization systems. Consequently, the use of speech separation has recently been proposed to improve their performance. Although promising, speech separation models struggle with…
Voice activity detection (VAD) improves the performance of speaker verification (SV) by preserving speech segments and attenuating the effects of non-speech. However, this scheme is not ideal: (1) it fails in noisy environments or…
Deep speaker embeddings have become the leading method for encoding speaker identity in speaker recognition tasks. The embedding space should ideally capture the variations between all possible speakers, encoding the multiple acoustic…
Traditional speaker diarization seeks to detect ``who spoke when'' according to speaker characteristics. Extending to target speech diarization, we detect ``when target event occurs'' according to the semantic characteristics of speech. We…
Diarization is a crucial component in meeting transcription systems to ease the challenges of speech enhancement and attribute the transcriptions to the correct speaker. Particularly in the presence of overlapping or noisy speech, these…
Meeting transcription is a field of high relevance and remarkable progress in recent years. Still, challenges remain that limit its performance. In this work, we extend a previously proposed framework for analyzing leakage in speech…
