As someone unfamiliar with the terminology, are the speakers isolated in single tracks, or is there a mix on each channel and due to the differences in relative volume, the system is able to distinguish speakers? The latter seems tremendously valuable if difficult to accomplish.
- woodson 10y agoFor the evaluation in the paper, speakers are on separate channels (mono, it's a telephone conversation, after all). Generally there are solutions for separating speakers on a single channel that can work fairly well (assuming your training data is similar to the target domain) if you know the number of speakers beforehand, but it's tremendously hard if you don't (think transcription of large meetings).
