Abstract
This paper describes our speaker diarization system submitted to the Multi-channel Multi-party Meeting Transcription (M2MeT) challenge, where Mandarin meeting data were recorded in multi-channel format for diarization and automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks. In these meeting scenarios, the uncertainty of the speaker number and the high ratio of overlapped speech present great challenges for diarization. Based on the assumption that there is valuable complementary information between acoustic features, spatial-related and speaker-related features, we propose a multi-level feature fusion mechanism based target-speaker voice activity detection (FFM-TS-VAD) system to improve the performance of the conventional TS-VAD system. Furthermore, we propose a data augmentation method during training to improve the system robustness when the angular difference between two speakers is relatively small. We provide comparisons for different sub-systems we used in M2MeT challenge. Our submission is a fusion of several sub-systems and ranks second in the diarization task.
