I propose (paid) scientific consulting services to companies willing to make the most of their data and open-source speech processing toolkits (and pyannote in particular).

🎹 Speaker segmentation

Paper | Demo | Blog post

Usage

Relies on pyannote.audio 2.1.1: see installation instructions.

# 1. visit hf.co/pyannote/segmentation and accept user conditions
# 2. visit hf.co/settings/tokens to create an access token
# 3. instantiate pretrained model
from pyannote.audio import Model
model = Model.from_pretrained("pyannote/segmentation", 
                              use_auth_token="ACCESS_TOKEN_GOES_HERE")

Voice activity detection

from pyannote.audio.pipelines import VoiceActivityDetection
pipeline = VoiceActivityDetection(segmentation=model)
HYPER_PARAMETERS = {
  # onset/offset activation thresholds
  "onset": 0.5, "offset": 0.5,
  # remove speech regions shorter than that many seconds.
  "min_duration_on": 0.0,
  # fill non-speech regions shorter than that many seconds.
  "min_duration_off": 0.0
}
pipeline.instantiate(HYPER_PARAMETERS)
vad = pipeline("audio.wav")
# `vad` is a pyannote.core.Annotation instance containing speech regions

Overlapped speech detection

from pyannote.audio.pipelines import OverlappedSpeechDetection
pipeline = OverlappedSpeechDetection(segmentation=model)
pipeline.instantiate(HYPER_PARAMETERS)
osd = pipeline("audio.wav")
# `osd` is a pyannote.core.Annotation instance containing overlapped speech regions

Resegmentation

from pyannote.audio.pipelines import Resegmentation
pipeline = Resegmentation(segmentation=model, 
                          diarization="baseline")
pipeline.instantiate(HYPER_PARAMETERS)
resegmented_baseline = pipeline({"audio": "audio.wav", "baseline": baseline})
# where `baseline` should be provided as a pyannote.core.Annotation instance

Raw scores

from pyannote.audio import Inference
inference = Inference(model)
segmentation = inference("audio.wav")
# `segmentation` is a pyannote.core.SlidingWindowFeature
# instance containing raw segmentation scores like the 
# one pictured above (output)

Reproducible research

In order to reproduce the results of the paper "End-to-end speaker segmentation for overlap-aware resegmentation ", use pyannote/segmentation@Interspeech2021 with the following hyper-parameters:

Expected outputs (and VBx baseline) are also provided in the /reproducible_research sub-directories.
