Abstract

In this paper, we present SphereDiar, a speaker diarization system composed of three novel subsystems: The Sphere-Speaker (SS) neural network, designed for speaker embedding extraction, a segmentation method called Homogeneity Based Segmentation (HBS) and a clustering algorithm called Top Two Silhouettes (Top2S). The system is evaluated on a set of over 200 manually transcribed multiparty meetings. The evaluation reveals that the system can be further simplified by omitting the use of HBS. Furthermore, we illustrate that SphereDiar achieves state-of-The-Art results with two different meeting data sets.
