Abstract

The state-of-the-art speaker diarization systems use agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) which performs the clustering of previously learned neural embeddings. While the clustering approach attempts to identify speaker clusters, the AHC algorithm does not involve any further learning. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for hierarchical clustering which combines the speaker clustering along with a representation learning framework. The proposed approach is based on principles of self-supervised learning where the self-supervision is derived from the clustering algorithm. The representation learning network is trained with a regularized triplet loss using the clustering solution at the current step while the clustering algorithm uses the deep embeddings from the representation learning step. By combining the self-supervision based representation learning along with the clustering algorithm, we show that the proposed algorithm improves significantly 29% relative improveme
