Improving Speaker Assignment in Speaker-Attributed ASR for Real Meeting Applications
CoRR(2024)
摘要
Past studies on end-to-end meeting transcription have focused on model
architecture and have mostly been evaluated on simulated meeting data. We
present a novel study aiming to optimize the use of a Speaker-Attributed ASR
(SA-ASR) system in real-life scenarios, such as the AMI meeting corpus, for
improved speaker assignment of speech segments. First, we propose a pipeline
tailored to real-life applications involving Voice Activity Detection (VAD),
Speaker Diarization (SD), and SA-ASR. Second, we advocate using VAD output
segments to fine-tune the SA-ASR model, considering that it is also applied to
VAD segments during test, and show that this results in a relative reduction of
Speaker Error Rate (SER) up to 28
the extraction of the speaker embedding templates used as inputs by the SA-ASR
system. We show that extracting them from SD output rather than annotated
speaker segments results in a relative SER reduction up to 20
