Abstract
In the task of speaker diarization, the number of small-scale meetings accounts for a large proportion. When microphone arrays are employed as a recording device, its spatial information is usually ignored by most researchers. In this paper, inspired by the clustering method combining d-vector and microphone array spatial vector, we proposed a diarization method which using multi-channel microphone arrays for a meeting with no more than 4 speakers. We utilize speech enhancement to preprocess the audio from the microphone array. The Steered-Response Power Phase Transform (SRP-PHAT) algorithm are employed to get more accurate speakers, and apply the number of speakers to recluster the speech segments to achieve better performance. Finally, we fuse our system by DOVER-LAP to get the best result. We evaluated our system on the AMI corpus. Compared with the best experimental results so far, our system has achieved largely improvement in the diarization error rate (DER).
