# pyannote.audio // speaker segmentation

![Example](example.png)

Model from *[End-to-end speaker segmentation for overlap-aware resegmentation](http://arxiv.org/abs/2104.04045)*,  
by Hervé Bredin and Antoine Laurent.

Relies on pyannote.audio 2.0 currently in development: see [installation instructions](https://github.com/pyannote/pyannote-audio/tree/develop#installation).

## Usage

### Voice activity detection

```python
from pyannote.audio.pipelines import VoiceActivityDetection
pipeline = VoiceActivityDetection(segmentation="pyannote/segmentation")
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

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

### Resegmentation

```python
from pyannote.audio.pipelines import Resegmentation
pipeline = Resegmentation(segmentation="pyannote/segmentation", 
                          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

```python
from pyannote.audio import Inference
inference = Inference("pyannote/segmentation")
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
"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.04045), use the following hyper-parameters:

Voice activity detection  | `onset` | `offset` | `min_duration_on` | `min_duration_off`
----------------|---------|----------|-------------------|-------------------
AMI Mix-Headset | 0.684   | 0.577    | 0.181             | 0.037
DIHARD3         | 0.767   | 0.377    | 0.136             | 0.067
VoxConverse     | 0.767   | 0.713    | 0.182             | 0.501

Overlapped speech detection | `onset` | `offset` | `min_duration_on` | `min_duration_off`
----------------|---------|----------|-------------------|-------------------
AMI Mix-Headset | 0.448   | 0.362    | 0.116             | 0.187
DIHARD3         | 0.430   | 0.320    | 0.091             | 0.144
VoxConverse     | 0.587   | 0.426    | 0.337             | 0.112

Resegmentation of VBx | `onset` | `offset` | `min_duration_on` | `min_duration_off`
----------------|---------|----------|-------------------|-------------------
AMI Mix-Headset | 0.542   | 0.527    | 0.044             | 0.705
DIHARD3         | 0.592   | 0.489    | 0.163             | 0.182
VoxConverse     | 0.537   | 0.724    | 0.410             | 0.563

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