Neural speaker diarization with `pyannote.audio`

pyannote.audio is an open-source toolkit written in Python for speaker diarization. Based on PyTorch machine learning framework, it provides a set of trainable end-to-end neural building blocks that can be combined and jointly optimized to build speaker diarization pipelines.

TL;DR

# 1. visit hf.co/pyannote/speaker-diarization and hf.co/pyannote/segmentation and accept user conditions (only if requested)
# 2. visit hf.co/settings/tokens to create an access token (only if you had to go through 1.)
# 3. instantiate pretrained speaker diarization pipeline
from pyannote.audio import Pipeline
pipeline = Pipeline.from_pretrained("pyannote/speaker-diarization",
                                    use_auth_token="ACCESS_TOKEN_GOES_HERE")

# 4. apply pretrained pipeline
diarization = pipeline("audio.wav")

# 5. print the result
for turn, _, speaker in diarization.itertracks(yield_label=True):
    print(f"start={turn.start:.1f}s stop={turn.end:.1f}s speaker_{speaker}")
# start=0.2s stop=1.5s speaker_0
# start=1.8s stop=3.9s speaker_1
# start=4.2s stop=5.7s speaker_0
# ...

Benchmark

Out of the box, pyannote.audio default speaker diarization pipeline is expected to be much better (and faster) in v2.x than in v1.1. Those numbers are diarization error rates (in %)

Dataset \ Version	v1.1	v2.0	v2.1.1 (finetuned)
AISHELL-4	-	14.6	14.1 (14.5)
