• Abstract summary: The proposed approach classifies into three classes: non-speech, single speaker speech, and overlapped speech. A convolutional recurrent neural network architecture is explored to benefit from both convolutional layer's capability to model local patterns and recurrent layer's ability to model sequential information. The proposed overlapped speech detection model establishes a state-of-the-art performance with a precision of 0.6648 and a recall of 0.3222 on the DIHARD II evaluation set.

• Abstract: In this work, we propose an overlapped speech detection system trained as a three-class classifier. Unlike conventional systems that perform binary classification as to whether or not a frame contains overlapped speech, the proposed approach classifies into three classes: non-speech, single speaker speech, and overlapped speech. By training a network with the more detailed label definition, the model can learn a better notion on deciding the number of speakers included in a given frame. A convolutional recurrent neural network architecture is explored to benefit from both convolutional layer's capability to model local patterns and recurrent layer's ability to model sequential information. The proposed overlapped speech detection model establishes a state-of-the-art performance with a precision of 0.6648 and a recall of 0.3222 on the DIHARD II evaluation set, showing a 20% increase in recall along with higher precision. In addition, we also introduce a simple approach to utilize the proposed overlapped speech detection model for speaker diarization which ranked third place in the Track 1 of the DIHARD III challenge.

  Instead of individually processing speech enhancement and speaker recognition, the two modules are integrated into one framework by a joint optimisation using deep neural networks. To increase robustness against noise, a multi-stage attention mechanism is employed to highlight the speaker related features learned from context information in time and frequency domain. The obtained results show that the proposed approach using speech enhancement and multi-stage attention models outperforms two strong baselines not using them in most acoustic conditions in our experiments.
