The implementation includes enhanced post-processing capabilities, overlap detection, and advanced statistical analysis specifically tailored for meeting transcription scenarios. The model is designed to identify and segment speakers in audio recordings with high temporal precision. ## Model Details ### Architecture The model leverages pre-trained pyannote.audio pipelines, specifically: - **Primary Model:** `pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.1` (default) - **Alternative Models:** `pyannote/speaker-diarization-community-1`, `pyannote/speaker-diarization-precision-2` ### Key Features 1. **Speaker Segmentation:** Identifies speaker boundaries with sub-second precision 2. **Overlap Detection:** Detects and quantifies simultaneous speech segments 3. **Post-Processing:** Optional intelligent segment merging and filtering (disabled by default to preserve accuracy) 4. **Statistical Analysis:** Comprehensive metrics per speaker (duration, segment count, overlap ratios) ### Technical Specifications - **Input Format:** Audio files (WAV, MP3, M4A, FLAC, OGG) - **Sample Rate:** 16 kHz (automatic conversion) - **Output Format:** RTTM (Rich Transcription Time Marked) and JSON - **Temporal Resolution:** 0.01 seconds (100ms) - **Speaker ID Format:** SPEAKER_00, SPEAKER_01, etc. ## Intended Use ### Primary Use Cases - **Meeting Transcription:** Speaker identification in business meetings - **Interview Analysis:** Segmentation of multi-speaker interviews - **Conference Recording:** Diarization of conference presentations and Q&A sessions - **Podcast Processing:** Speaker separation in multi-host podcasts ### Out-of-Scope Use Cases - Real-time streaming diarization (designed for batch processing) - Music or non-speech audio analysis - Languages not supported by the base pyannote models ## Performance Metrics ### Evaluation Methodology The model performance is evaluated using standard diarization metrics: - **DER (Diarization Error Rate):** Primary metric combining false alarm, missed detection, and speaker confusion - **JER (Jaccard Error Rate):** Average Jaccard error across speakers - **Segmentation Accuracy:** Temporal precision of speaker boundaries ### Expected Performance Based on pyannote.audio benchmarks and internal testing: | Metric | Performance | |--------|-------------| | DER (optimal settings) | < 10% on clean meeting audio | | Temporal Precision | ± 0.1 seconds | | Speaker Detection | 95%+ accuracy (known speaker count) | *Note: Performance varies significantly based on audio quality, number of speakers, and overlap frequency.* ## Usage ### Installation ```bash pip install pyannote.audio pyannote.core torch librosa soundfile ``` ### Basic Usage ```python from diarization_pyannote_gilbert import run_gilbert_diarization results = run_gilbert_diarization( audio_path="meeting.wav", model_name="pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.1" ) # Access results segments = results["segments"] # Post-processed segments segments_raw = results["segments_raw"] # Raw pyannote output overlaps = results["overlaps"] # Detected overlaps stats = results["stats"] # Per-speaker statistics ``` ### Command Line Interface ```bash # Standard usage (optimal accuracy) python diarization_pyannote_gilbert.py audio.wav # With post-processing (improved readability, potential accuracy trade-off) python diarization_pyannote_gilbert.py audio.wav \ --min-segment 0.5 \ --merge-gaps 0.3 # With known speaker count (improves accuracy) python diarization_pyannote_gilbert.py audio.wav \ --num_speakers 4 ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `model_name` | str | `pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.1` | Base pyannote model | | `num_speakers` | int | None | Exact number of speakers (if known) | | `min_speakers` | int | None | Minimum number of speakers | | `max_speakers` | int | None | Maximum number of speakers | | `min_segment` | float | 0.0 | Minimum segment duration (s). 0 = disabled | | `merge_gaps` | float | 0.0 | Gap threshold for merging (s). 0 = disabled | | `use_exclusive` | bool | False | Use exclusive speaker diarization | ## Output Format ### RTTM Format ``` SPEAKER 1 ``` ### JSON Format ```json [ { "speaker": "SPEAKER_00", "start": 0.0, "end": 3.25 }, ... ] ``` ### Statistics Format ```json { "version": "Gilbert-v1.0", "model": "pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.1", "num_speakers": 4, "duration": 3600.0, "num_segments": 150, "num_overlaps": 12, "speaker_stats": { "SPEAKER_00": { "total_duration": 900.0, "num_segments": 45, "avg_segment_duration": 20.0, "overlap_duration": 45.2 }, ... } } ``` ## Limitations and Bias ### Known Limitations 1. **Audio Quality:** Performance degrades significantly with low-quality audio, background noise, or poor recording conditions 2. **Speaker Similarity:** May confuse speakers with similar voices or accents 3. **Overlap Handling:** High overlap scenarios (>30% of total duration) may reduce accuracy 4. **Language Dependency:** Performance varies by language (best for languages well-represented in training data) 5. **Computational Requirements:** Processing time scales with audio duration (approximately 1x real-time on CPU) ### Potential Biases - May perform better on male voices due to training data distribution - Accuracy may vary by accent and dialect - Performance optimized for meeting scenarios may not generalize to other contexts ## Training Data This model is built upon pre-trained pyannote.audio models. The base models were trained on: - **Training Corpora:** VoxConverse, DIHARD, AMI, Ego4D - **Languages:** Primarily English, with multilingual support - **Audio Conditions:** Various recording environments (studio, meeting rooms, telephone) *Note: This implementation does not include model training; it utilizes pre-trained weights from pyannote.audio.* ## Evaluation ### Benchmark Results Evaluation on internal meeting dataset (Gilbert v1 benchmark): | Dataset | DER (%) | JER (%) | Speakers | Duration (min) | |---------|---------|---------|----------|----------------| | Meetings (clean) | 8.5 | 12.3 | 2-4 | 5-60 | | Meetings (noisy) | 15.2 | 18.7 | 2-4 | 5-60 | *Results may vary based on specific audio characteristics.* ## Ethical Considerations - **Privacy:** This model processes audio recordings. Ensure proper consent and data protection measures - **Transparency:** Users should be informed when their speech is being analyzed - **Bias Mitigation:** Be aware of potential biases in speaker detection, especially for underrepresented groups ## Citation If you use this model in your research, please cite: ```bibtex @software{gilbert_diarization_2024, title={Gilbert Speaker Diarization Model}, author={MEscriva}, year={2024}, url={https://huggingface.co/MEscriva/gilbert-pyannote-diarization}, version={1.0} } ``` ## References - Bredin, H., et al.
