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.…
In diarization, the PLDA is typically used to model an inference structure which assumes the variation in speech segments be induced by various speakers. The speaker variation is then learned from the training data. However, human…
