๐น Speaker diarization
Relies on pyannote.audio 2.0: see installation instructions.
TL;DR
# load the pipeline from Hugginface Hub
from pyannote.audio import Pipeline
pipeline = Pipeline.from_pretrained("pyannote/speaker-diarization@2022.07")
# apply the pipeline to an audio file
diarization = pipeline("audio.wav")
# dump the diarization output to disk using RTTM format
with open("audio.rttm", "w") as rttm:
diarization.write_rttm(rttm)
Advanced usage
In case the number of speakers is known in advance, one can use the num_speakers
option:
diarization = pipeline("audio.wav", num_speakers=2)
One can also provide lower and/or upper bounds on the number of speakers using min_speakers
and max_speakers
options:
diarization = pipeline("audio.wav", min_speakers=2, max_speakers=5)
If you feel adventurous, you can try and play with the various pipeline hyper-parameters.
For instance, one can use a more aggressive voice activity detection by increasing the value of segmentation_onset
threshold:
hparams = pipeline.parameters(instantiated=True)
hparams["segmentation_onset"] += 0.1
pipeline.instantiate(hparams)
Benchmark
Real-time factor
Real-time factor is around 5% using one Nvidia Tesla V100 SXM2 GPU (for the neural inference part) and one Intel Cascade Lake 6248 CPU (for the clustering part).
In other words, it takes approximately 3 minutes to process a one hour conversation.
Accuracy
This pipeline is benchmarked on a growing collection of datasets.
Processing is fully automatic:
- no manual voice activity detection (as is sometimes the case in the literature)
- no manual number of speakers (though it is possible to provide it to the pipeline)
- no fine-tuning of the internal models nor tuning of the pipeline hyper-parameters to each dataset
... with the least forgiving diarization error rate (DER) setup (named "Full" in this paper):
- no forgiveness collar
- evaluation of overlapped speech
