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…
Multi-talker automatic speech recognition (ASR) has been studied to generate transcriptions of natural conversation including overlapping speech of multiple speakers. Due to the difficulty in acquiring real conversation data with…
This paper describes a method for overlap-aware speaker diarization. Given an overlap detector and a speaker embedding extractor, our method performs spectral clustering of segments informed by the output of the overlap detector. This is…
Automating child speech analysis is crucial for applications such as neurocognitive assessments. Speaker diarization, which identifies ``who spoke when'', is an essential component of the automated analysis. However, publicly available…
Speech recognition (ASR) and speaker diarization (SD) models have traditionally been trained separately to produce rich conversation transcripts with speaker labels. Recent advances have shown that joint ASR and SD models can learn to…
Since its introduction in 2019, the whole end-to-end neural diarization (EEND) line of work has been addressing speaker diarization as a frame-wise multi-label classification problem with permutation-invariant training. Despite EEND showing…
In multi-speaker applications is common to have pre-computed models from enrolled speakers. Using these models to identify the instances in which these speakers intervene in a recording is the task of speaker tracking. In this paper, we…
Identifying the identity of the speaker of short segments in human dialogue has been considered one of the most challenging problems in speech signal processing. Speaker representations of short speech segments tend to be unreliable,…
We propose a novel approach to enable the use of large, single-speaker ASR models, such as Whisper, for target speaker ASR. The key claim of this method is that it is much easier to model relative differences among speakers by learning to…
Speaker diarization has been mainly developed based on the clustering of speaker embeddings. However, the clustering-based approach has two major problems; i.e., (i) it is not optimized to minimize diarization errors directly, and (ii) it…
Speaker diarisation systems nowadays use embeddings generated from speech segments in a bottleneck layer, which are needed to be discriminative for unseen speakers. It is well-known that large-margin training can improve the generalisation…
Speaker diarization is one of the critical components of computational media intelligence as it enables a character-level analysis of story portrayals and media content understanding. Automated audio-based speaker diarization of…
Automatic meeting analysis comprises the tasks of speaker counting, speaker diarization, and the separation of overlapped speech, followed by automatic speech recognition. This all has to be carried out on arbitrarily long sessions and,…
In recent years, speaker diarization has attracted widespread attention. To achieve better performance, some studies propose to diarize speech in multiple stages. Although these methods might bring additional benefits, most of them are…
We propose a speaker-attributed (SA) Whisper-based model for multi-talker speech recognition that combines target-speaker modeling with serialized output training (SOT). Our approach leverages a Diarization-Conditioned Whisper (DiCoW)…
Podcasts are conversational in nature and speaker changes are frequent -- requiring speaker diarization for content understanding. We propose an unsupervised technique for speaker diarization without relying on language-specific components.…
We propose an end-to-end speaker-attributed automatic speech recognition model that unifies speaker counting, speech recognition, and speaker identification on monaural overlapped speech. Our model is built on serialized output training…
We present a modular toolkit to perform joint speaker diarization and speaker identification. The toolkit can leverage on multiple models and algorithms which are defined in a configuration file. Such flexibility allows our system to work…
A method to perform offline and online speaker diarization for an unlimited number of speakers is described in this paper. End-to-end neural diarization (EEND) has achieved overlap-aware speaker diarization by formulating it as a…
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…
