Abstract
In recent years, speaker diarization has attracted widespread attention. To achieve better performance, some studies propose to diarize speech in multiple stages. Although these methods might bring additional benefits, most of them are quite complex. Motivated by spelling correction in automatic speech recognition (ASR), in this paper, we propose an end-to-end error correction framework, termed DiaCorrect, to refine the initial diarization results in a simple but efficient way. By exploiting the acoustic interactions between input mixture and its corresponding speaker activity, DiaCorrect could automatically adapt the initial speaker activity to minimize the diarization errors. Without bells and whistles, experiments on LibriSpeech based 2-speaker meeting-like data show that, the self-attentitive end-to-end neural diarization (SA-EEND) baseline with DiaCorrect could reduce its diarization error rate (DER) by over 62.4% from 12.31% to 4.63%.
