Self-Supervised Learning for Audio-Visual Speaker Diarization

摘要

Speaker diarization, which is to find the speech segments of specific speakers, has been widely used in human-centered applications such as video conferences or human-computer interaction systems. In this paper, we propose a self-supervised audio-video synchronization learning method to address the problem of speaker diarization without massive labeling effort. We improve the previous approaches by introducing two new loss functions: the dynamic triplet loss and the multinomial loss. We test them on a real-world human-computer interaction system and the results show our best model yields a remarkable gain of +8% F1-scores as well as diarization error rate reduction. Finally, we introduce a new large scale audio-video corpus designed to fill the vacancy of audio-video dataset in Chinese.
