Diarization recipe for CALLHOME, AMI and DIHARD II by Brno University of Technology.
The recipe consists of
- computing x-vectors
- doing agglomerative hierarchical clustering on x-vectors as a first step to produce an initialization
- apply variational Bayes HMM over x-vectors to produce the diarization output
- score the diarization output
More details about the full recipe in
F. Landini, J. Profant, M. Diez, L. Burget: Bayesian HMM clustering of x-vector sequences (VBx) in speaker diarization: theory, implementation and analysis on standard tasks
If you are interested in the original version of VBx (prepared for the Second DIHARD Challenge), please refer to the corresponding branch.
If you are interested in the VBx recipe prepared for the track 4 of VoxSRC-20 Challenge (on VoxConverse), please refer to the corresponding branch.
To run the recipe, execute the run scripts for the different datasets with the corresponding parameters. Please refer to the scripts for more details. The CALLHOME and DIHARD II recipes require the corresponding datasets and the paths need to be provided. For AMI, the recordings need to be downloaded (for free) but the VAD segments and reference rttms are obtained from our proposed setup.
This repository has x-vector extractors already trained to function as a standalone recipe. However, the recipes for training the extractors can be found here.
We recommend to create anaconda environment
conda create -n VBx python=3.6
conda activate VBxClone the repository
git clone https://github.com/BUTSpeechFIT/VBx.gitInstall the package
pip install -e .Initialize submodule dscore:
git submodule init
git submodule updateRun the example
./run_example.shThe output (last few lines) should look like this

We present here the results of our systems for the different datasets and different evaluation protocols. A more thorough discussion on the protocols and results can be found in the paper. All results are obtained using oracle VAD.
