ami-diarization-setup's Introduction

Note: this is a fork of the official AMI diarization setup proposed by BUT Speech@FIT team.
It includes an additional pyannote directory explaining how to use the setup with pyannote.audio.

AMI-diarization-setup

Diarization setup for AMI corpus[1] based on Full-corpus-ASR partition. The diarization references are directly derived from the manual annotations, version 1.6.2. To generate the references:

All words are considered as speech and included in the references.
Speaker turns respect precisely the annotations, but adjacent speech segments (words) of the same speaker are merged not to create false break points. Consecutive speech segments from the same speaker separated by pauses (silence) are not merged in any case. Some researchers might find useful a version of diarization references that not only includes words but also vocal sounds as marked in the manual annotations and for this reason we also share such set of references. However, there are inconsistencies in what annotators marked as vocal sounds and we prefer the setup containing only words.

The uem files consider the whole lengths of the recordings.

Scoring

For the sake of keeping this repository as simple as possible, we do not include scoring scripts. However, you can refer to the following links for examples on how to score using this setup with dscore or with md-eval. In order to use this setup directly with pyannote, refer to this fork.
