• Authors: Kiran Karra, Alan McCree
• Abstract summary: This paper presents a new two-pass version of a system for speaker diarization using clustering and embeddings. For the Callhome corpus, we achieve the first published error rate below 4% without any task-dependent parameter tuning. We also show significant progress towards a robust single solution for multiple diarization tasks.

• Abstract: Many modern systems for speaker diarization, such as the recently-developed VBx approach, rely on clustering of DNN speaker embeddings followed by resegmentation. Two problems with this approach are that the DNN is not directly optimized for this task, and the parameters need significant retuning for different applications. We have recently presented progress in this direction with a Leave-One-Out Gaussian PLDA (LGP) clustering algorithm and an approach to training the DNN such that embeddings directly optimize performance of this scoring method. This paper presents a new two-pass version of this system, where the second pass uses finer time resolution to significantly improve overall performance. For the Callhome corpus, we achieve the first published error rate below 4\% without any task-dependent parameter tuning. We also show significant progress towards a robust single solution for multiple diarization tasks.

  Running multiple deep neural networks (DNNs) in parallel has become an emerging workload in both edge devices. We propose Dysta, a novel scheduler that utilizes both static sparsity patterns and dynamic sparsity information for the sparse multi-DNN scheduling. Our proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods with up to 10% decrease in latency constraint violation rate and nearly 4X reduction in average normalized turnaround time.

• Towards Lossless ANN-SNN Conversion under Ultra-Low Latency with Dual-Phase Optimization [30.098268054714048]
  Spiking neural networks (SNNs) operating with asynchronous discrete events show higher energy efficiency with sparse computation. A popular approach for implementing deep SNNs is ANN-SNN conversion combining both efficient training of ANNs and efficient inference of SNNs. In this paper, we first identify that such performance degradation stems from the misrepresentation of the negative or overflow residual membrane potential in SNNs. Inspired by this, we decompose the conversion error into three parts: quantization error, clipping error, and residual membrane potential representation error.

  We consider the problem of searching an input maximizing a black-box objective function given a static dataset of input-output queries.
