  ## 2. Speaker Diarization Model: Multi-scale Diarization Decoder (MSDD-v2)
20
+ ### **MSDD_v2_PALO_100ms_intrpl_3scales.nemo**
21
+
22
+ Our DASR system is based on the speaker diarization system using the multi-scale diarization decoder (MSDD).
23
+ - MSDD Reference: [Park et al. (2022)](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.15974.pdf)
24
+ - MSDD-v2 speaker diarization system employs a multi-scale embedding approach and utilizes TitaNet speaker embedding extractor.
25
+ - TitaNet Reference: [Koluguri et al. (2022)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.04410)
26
+ - TitaNet Model is included in this .nemo checkpoint file.
27
+ - Unlike the system that uses a multi-layer LSTM architecture, we employ a four-layer Transformer architecture with a hidden size of 384.
28
+ - This neural model generates logit values indicating speaker existence.
29
+ - Our diarization model is trained on approximately 3,000 hours of simulated audio mixture data from the same multi-speaker data simulator used in VAD model training, drawing from VoxCeleb1&2 and LibriSpeech datasets.
30
+ - LibriSpeech Reference: [OpenSLR Download](https://www.openslr.org/12),[LibriSpeech, Panayotov et al. (2015)](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7178964)
31
+ - MUSAN noise is also used for adding additive background noise, focusing on music and broadband noise.

34
  ## 3. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) model
35
+ ### **FastConformerXL-RNNT-chime7-GSS-finetuned.nemo**
36
+ - This ASR model is based on [NeMo FastConformer XL model](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/nemo/user-guide/docs/en/main/asr/models.html#fast-conformer).
37
+ - Single-channel audio generated using a multi-channel front-end (Guided Source Separation, GSS) is transcribed using a 0.6B parameter Conformer-based transducer (RNNT) model.
38
+ - Model Reference: [Gulati et al. (2020)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.08100)
39
+ - The model was initialized using a publicly available NeMo checkpoint.
40
+ - NeMo Checkpoint: [NGC Model Card: Conformer Transducer XL](https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/teams/nemo/models/stt_en_conformer_transducer_xlarge)
41
+ - This model was then fine-tuned on the CHiME-7 train and dev set, which includes the CHiME-6 and Mixer6 training subsets, after processing the data through the multi-channel ASR front-end, utilizing ground-truth diarization.
42
+ - Fine-Tuning Details:
43
+ - Fine-tuning Duration: 35,000 updates
44
+ - Batch Size: 128

  ## 4. Language Model for ASR Decoding: KenLM Model
48
+ ### **[**ASR_LM_chime7_only.kenlm**](https://huggingface.co/chime-dasr/nemo_baseline_models/blob/main/ASR_LM_chime7_only.kenlm)**
49
+
50
+ - We apply a word-piece level N-gram language model using byte-pair-encoding (BPE) tokens.
51
+ - This approach utilizes the SentencePiece and KenLM toolkits, based on the transcription of CHiME-7 train and dev sets.
52
+ - SentencePiece: [Kudo and Richardson (2018)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.06226)
53
+ - KenLM: [KenLM GitRepo](https://github.com/kpu/kenlm)
54
+ - The token sets of our ASR and LM models were matched to ensure consistency.
55
+ - To combine several N-gram models with equal weights, we used the OpenGrm library.
56
+ - OpenGrm: [Roark et al. (2012)](https://aclanthology.org/P12-3011/)
57
+ - MAES decoding was employed for the transducer, which accelerates the decoding process.
58
+ - MAES Decoding: [Kim et al. (2020)](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9250505)
59
+ - As expected, integrating the beam-search decoder with the language model significantly enhances the performance of the end-to-end model compared to its pure counterpart.
