• Title: Systematic Evaluation of Online Speaker Diarization Systems Regarding their Latency
• Authors: Roman Aperdannier, Sigurd Schacht, Alexander Piazza,
• Abstract summary: The latency is the time span from audio input to the output of the corresponding speaker label. The lowest latency is achieved for the DIART-pipeline with the embedding model pyannote/embedding. The FS-EEND system shows a similarly good latency.

• Abstract: In this paper, different online speaker diarization systems are evaluated on the same hardware with the same test data with regard to their latency. The latency is the time span from audio input to the output of the corresponding speaker label. As part of the evaluation, various model combinations within the DIART framework, a diarization system based on the online clustering algorithm UIS-RNN-SML, and the end-to-end online diarization system FS-EEND are compared. The lowest latency is achieved for the DIART-pipeline with the embedding model pyannote/embedding and the segmentation model pyannote/segmentation. The FS-EEND system shows a similarly good latency. In general there is currently no published research that compares several online diarization systems in terms of their latency. This makes this work even more relevant.

  We propose DiariST, the first streaming ST and SD solution. It is built upon a neural transducer-based streaming ST system and integrates token-level serialized output training and t-vector. Our system achieves a strong ST and SD capability compared to offline systems based on Whisper, while performing streaming inference for overlapping speech.

  We propose an end-to-end training network where feature learning and contextual predictions are jointly learned. We also introduce intertemporal graph neural network (iGNN) blocks, which split the message passing according to the main sources of context in the ASD problem. Experiments show that the aggregated features from the iGNN blocks are more suitable for ASD, resulting in state-of-the art performance.

  We introduce an online system for joint beat, downbeat, and meter tracking, which utilizes causal convolutional and recurrent layers. The proposed system does not need to be primed with a time signature in order to perform downbeat tracking, and is instead able to estimate meter and adjust the predictions over time. Experiments on the GTZAN dataset, which is unseen during training, show that the system outperforms various online beat and downbeat tracking systems.

  This work proposes a system that has a small enough footprint to run on small micro-controllers and embedded systems with minimal latency. Given a streaming input speech signal, the proposed system can process it segment-by-segment without the need to have the entire stream at the moment of processing. Experiments show that the proposed system yields state-of-the-art performance with the advantage of low latency and a much smaller model when compared to other published works on the same task.

  Speaker recognition systems based on deep speaker embeddings have achieved significant performance in controlled conditions. Speaker verification on short utterances in uncontrolled noisy environment conditions is one of the most challenging and highly demanded tasks. This paper presents approaches aimed to achieve two goals: a) improve the quality of far-field speaker verification systems in the presence of environmental noise, reverberation and b) reduce the system qualitydegradation for short utterances.
