用多语言训练提升尼泊尔语-印地语语音辨识,效果显著优于单一语言模型。
Neural Speaker Diarization via Multilingual Training: Evaluation on Low-Resource Nepali-Hindi Speech
- 通过混合英、尼泊尔、印地语数据训练,减少语言偏见,增强跨语言泛化能力。
- 基于Perceiver的模型在尼泊尔语-印地语多说话人场景下错误率最低达3.28%。
- 适合低资源语言语音分析、多语种会议转录等实际应用场景。
说话人辨识是确定多说话人录音中“谁在何时说话”的关键任务,广泛应用于会议转录、无障碍工具和多语言信息检索。尽管端到端神经辨识系统在英语等高资源语言上表现优异,但在标注数据稀缺的低资源语言中性能明显下降。本文通过多语言训练方法研究尼泊尔语-印地语语音辨识,对比EEND-EDA与DiaPer两种架构。两者均在包含LibriSpeech英文数据、VoxCeleb多样化说话人数据及自采尼泊尔语和印地语音频的多语言语料上训练,以降低语言偏差并促进跨语言泛化。在LibriSpeech、VoxCeleb和尼泊尔语-印地语(NeHi)测试集上评估2、3、4及混合说话人场景下的表现。DiaPer整体优于EEND-EDA,尤其在复杂多说话人条件下:在NeHi 2、3、4及混合说话人设置下,其错误率(DER)分别为3.28%、2.02%、4.05%和4.76%,而EEND-EDA分别为1.50%、9.68%、16.17%和11.19%。结果证明基于Perceiver的端到端辨识适用于低资源多语言语音处理。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Speaker diarization, the task of determining "who spoke when" in a multi-speaker recording, is a critical component in applications such as meeting transcription, accessibility tools, and multilingual information retrieval. While end-to-end neural diarization systems have achieved strong performance for English and other high-resource languages, their effectiveness degrades substantially for underrepresented languages where annotated speech data is scarce. This paper investigates speaker diarization for low-resource Nepali-Hindi speech through a multilingual training approach, comparing two modern architectures: EEND with encoder-decoder attractors (EEND-EDA) and EEND with Perceiver-based attractors (DiaPer). Both models are trained on a multilingual corpus combining English speech from LibriSpeech, diverse speaker recordings from VoxCeleb, and separately collected Nepali and Hindi audio, a setup designed to reduce language bias and encourage cross-lingual generalization. We evaluate both models across 2-speaker, 3-speaker, 4-speaker, and mixed-speaker scenarios on LibriSpeech, VoxCeleb, and Nepali-Hindi (NeHi) test sets. DiaPer achieves stronger overall performance than EEND-EDA, particularly in more challenging multi-speaker conditions, obtaining DERs of 3.28%, 2.02%, 4.05%, and 4.76% on NeHi 2-speaker, 3-speaker, 4-speaker, and mixed-speaker settings, respectively, compared to 1.50%, 9.68%, 16.17%, and 11.19% for EEND-EDA. These results demonstrate the viability of Perceiver-based end-to-end neural diarization for low-resource multilingual speech processing.
