In this paper, we reformulate this task as a single-label prediction problem by encoding the multi-speaker labels with power set. Specifically, we propose the speaker embedding-aware neural diarization (SEND) method, which predicts the power set encoded labels according to the similarities between speech features and given speaker embeddings. Our method is further extended and integrated with downstream tasks by utilizing the textual information, which has not been well studied in previous literature. The experimental results show that our method achieves lower diarization error rate than the target-speaker voice activity detection. When textual information is involved, the diarization errors can be further reduced. For the real meeting scenario, our method can achieve 34.11% relative improvement compared with the Bayesian hidden Markov model based clustering algorithm.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.13694v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.13694v1.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":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"speaker-embedding-aware-neural-diarization","repo_url":"https://github.com/alibaba-damo-academy/FunASR/tree/main/funasr","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"speaker-embedding-aware-neural-diarization","repo_url":"https://github.com/alibaba-damo-academy/FunASR","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"MIT"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"action-detection","task_name":"Action Detection"},{"task_slug":"activity-detection","task_name":"Activity Detection"},{"task_slug":"multi-label-classification-2","task_name":"MUlTI-LABEL-ClASSIFICATION"},{"task_slug":"multi-label-classification","task_name":"Multi-Label Classification"},{"task_slug":"speaker-diarization","task_name":"Speaker Diarization"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
