These properties are promising for speaker diarization, as attention-based models have unsuitable memory requirements for long-form audio, and traditional RNN capabilities are too limited. In this paper, we propose to assess the potential of Mamba for diarization by comparing the state-of-the-art neural segmentation of the pyannote pipeline with our proposed Mamba-based variant. Mamba's stronger processing capabilities allow usage of longer local windows, which significantly improve diarization quality by making the speaker embedding extraction more reliable. We find Mamba to be a superior alternative to both traditional RNN and the tested attention-based model. Our proposed Mamba-based system achieves state-of-the-art performance on three widely used diarization datasets.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.06459v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.06459v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"mamba-based-segmentation-model-for-speaker","repo_url":"https://github.com/nttcslab-sp/mamba-diarization","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
