Claim 14:
15. The computer-program product of claim 11, wherein performing the speaker diarization technique comprises the at least one processor being caused to perform, within a third thread, and in parallel with performing the first pause detection technique and the second pause detection technique, further preprocessing operations comprising:
divide the speech data set into a set of data fragments that each represent a fragment of a set of fragments of the speech audio;
provide, to a speaker diarization neural network trained to output indications of vocal characteristics, each data fragment of the set of data fragments as an input to generate a corresponding speaker vector of a set of speaker vectors as an output, wherein each speaker vector comprises indications of vocal characteristics detected within the corresponding data fragment;
cluster the speaker vectors of the set of speaker vectors to identify the speakers of the set of speakers; and
identify each instance of a change in speaker between temporally consecutive fragments of the speech audio as a speaker change of the set of likely speaker changes.
