Project description
Install
- Create environment:
conda create -n diart python=3.8
conda activate diart
-
Install pyannote.audio 2.0 (currently in development)
pip install git+https://github.com/pyannote/pyannote-audio.git@develop#egg=pyannote-audio
- Install diart:
pip install diart
Stream your own audio
A recorded conversation
python -m diart.stream /path/to/audio.wav
From your microphone
python -m diart.stream microphone
See python -m diart.stream -h
for more options.
Inference API
Run a customized real-time speaker diarization pipeline over an audio stream with diart.inference.RealTimeInference
:
from diart.sources import MicrophoneAudioSource
from diart.inference import RealTimeInference
from diart.pipelines import OnlineSpeakerDiarization, PipelineConfig
pipeline = OnlineSpeakerDiarization(PipelineConfig())
audio_source = MicrophoneAudioSource(pipeline.sample_rate)
inference = RealTimeInference("/output/path", do_plot=True)
inference(pipeline, audio_source)
For faster inference and evaluation on a dataset we recommend to use Benchmark
(see our notes on reproducibility)
Build your own pipeline
Diart also provides building blocks that can be combined to create your own pipeline.
Streaming is powered by RxPY, but the blocks
module is completely independent and can be used separately.
Example
Obtain overlap-aware speaker embeddings from a microphone stream:
import rx
import rx.operators as ops
import diart.operators as dops
from diart.sources import MicrophoneAudioSource
from diart.blocks import FramewiseModel, OverlapAwareSpeakerEmbedding
sample_rate = 16000
mic = MicrophoneAudioSource(sample_rate)
# Initialize independent modules
segmentation = FramewiseModel("pyannote/segmentation")
embedding = OverlapAwareSpeakerEmbedding("pyannote/embedding")
# Reformat microphone stream. Defaults to 5s duration and 500ms shift
regular_stream = mic.stream.pipe(dops.regularize_stream(sample_rate))
# Branch the microphone stream to calculate segmentation
segmentation_stream = regular_stream.pipe(ops.map(segmentation))
# Join audio and segmentation stream to calculate speaker embeddings
embedding_stream = rx.zip(
regular_stream, segmentation_stream
).pipe(ops.starmap(embedding))
embedding_stream.subscribe(on_next=lambda emb: print(emb.shape))
mic.read()
Output:
torch.Size([4, 512])
torch.Size([4, 512])
torch.Size([4, 512])

Powered by research
Diart is the official implementation of the paper Overlap-aware low-latency online speaker diarization based on end-to-end local segmentation by Juan Manuel Coria, Hervé Bredin, Sahar Ghannay and Sophie Rosset.
We propose to address online speaker diarization as a combination of incremental clustering and local diarization applied to a rolling buffer updated every 500ms. Every single step of the proposed pipeline is designed to take full advantage of the strong ability of a recently proposed end-to-end overlap-aware segmentation to detect and separate overlapping speakers. In particular, we propose a modified version of the statistics pooling layer (initially introduced in the x-vector architecture) to give less weight to frames where the segmentation model predicts simultaneous speakers. Furthermore, we derive cannot-link constraints from the initial segmentation step to prevent two local speakers from being wrongfully merged during the incremental clustering step. Finally, we show how the latency of the proposed approach can be adjusted between 500ms and 5s to match the requirements of a particular use case, and we provide a systematic analysis of the influence of latency on the overall performance (on AMI, DIHARD and VoxConverse).

Reproducibility
Diart aims to be lightweight and capable of real-time streaming in practical scenarios. Its performance is very close to what is reported in the paper (and sometimes even a bit better).
To obtain the best results, make sure to use the following hyper-parameters:
Dataset | latency | tau | rho | delta |
---|---|---|---|---|
DIHARD III | any | 0.555 | 0.422 | 1.517 |
AMI | any | 0.507 | 0.006 | 1.057 |
VoxConverse | any | 0.576 | 0.915 | 0.648 |
DIHARD II | 1s | 0.619 | 0.326 | 0.997 |
DIHARD II | 5s | 0.555 | 0.422 | 1.517 |
diart.benchmark
and diart.inference.Benchmark
can quickly run and evaluate the pipeline, and even measure its real-time latency. For instance, for a DIHARD III configuration:
python -m diart.benchmark /wav/dir --reference /rttm/dir --tau=0.555 --rho=0.422 --delta=1.517 --output /out/dir
or using the inference API:
from diart.inference import Benchmark
from diart.pipelines import OnlineSpeakerDiarization, PipelineConfig
config = PipelineConfig(
step=0.5,
latency=0.5,
tau_active=0.555,
rho_update=0.422,
delta_new=1.517
)
pipeline = OnlineSpeakerDiarization(config)
benchmark = Benchmark("/wav/dir", "/rttm/dir", "/out/dir")
benchmark(pipeline, batch_size=32)
This runs a faster inference by pre-calculating model outputs in batches.
See python -m diart.benchmark -h
for more options.
For convenience and to facilitate future comparisons, we also provide the expected outputs of the paper implementation in RTTM format for every entry of Table 1 and Figure 5. This includes the VBx offline topline as well as our proposed online approach with latencies 500ms, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s.
