Online Target Speaker Voice Activity Detection for Speaker Diarization
share
This paper proposes an online target speaker voice activity detection system for speaker diarization tasks, which does not require a priori knowledge from the clustering-based diarization system to obtain the target speaker embeddings. First, we employ a ResNet-based front-end model to extract the frame-level speaker embeddings for each coming block of a signal. Next, we predict the detection state of each speaker based on these frame-level speaker embeddings and the previously estimated target speaker embedding. Then, the target speaker embeddings are updated by aggregating these frame-level speaker embeddings according to the predictions in the current block. We iteratively extract the results for each block and update the target speaker embedding until reaching the end of the signal. Experimental results show that the proposed method is better than the offline clustering-based diarization system on the AliMeeting dataset.
