Audiotextspeakerchangedetect

Audiotextspeakerchangedetect is a Python package to detect speaker change by analyzing both audio and text features.

The package develops and applies Large Language Models and the Rule-based NLP Model to detect speaker change based on text features.

Currently, the package provides the main function so users could directly pass transcriptions to apply Llama2-70b to detect speaker change. The prompt of speaker change detection is developed meticulously to ensure that Llama2 could understand its role of detecting speaker change, perform the speaker change detection for almost every segment, and return the answer in a standardized JSON format. Specifically, two texts of the current segment and the next segment would be shown to ask llama2 if the speaker changes across these two segments by understanding the interrelationships between these two texts via their semantic meaning. The codes are developed to parse input csv files to prompts and parse the returned answers into csv files while considering possible missing values and mismatches.

In addition to Llama2, the Rule-based NLP model is also developed to detect speaker change by analyzing the text using human comprehension. Well-defined patterns exist in the text segments so humans could use them to identify that the speaker indeed changes across these text segments with nearly complete certainty. By using Spacy NLP model, human comprehension could be written as rules in programming language. These rules are used to determine if these well-defined patterns exist in text segments to identify if speaker changes across these segments. These human-specified rules are developed by analyzing OpenAI Whisper transcription text segments. Specifically, the rules are below.

• If the segment starts with the lowercase character, the segment continues the previous sentence. The speaker does not change in this segment.
• If the sentence ends with ?, and its following sentence ends with . The speaker changes in the next segment.
• If there is the conjunction word in the beginning of segment. The speaker does not change in this segment.

Besides text features, audio features are used to detect speaker change via the widely used clustering method, PyAnnotate and Spectral Clustering.

In the end, the Ensemble Audio-and-text-based Speaker Change Detection Model is built by aggregating predictions across all the speaker change detection models. The voting methods would be used to ensemble the speaker change detection models above except for Rule-based NLP model. The predictions would be finally corrected by Rule-based NLP model as final predictions.

Usage

The audio-and-text-based ensemble speaker change detection model could be applied to get speaker change detection results by running only one function. The function is run_ensemble_audio_text_based_speaker_change_detection_model in src/audiotextspeakerchangedetect/main.py. Please view the function description inside the Python file. Please view the sample codes to run the function in sample_run.py and sample_run_existingllama2output.py in the src/audiotextspeakerchangedetect.

from audiotextspeakerchangedetect.main import run_ensemble_audio_text_based_speaker_change_detection_model

run_ensemble_audio_text_based_speaker_change_detection_model(detection_models, min_speakers, max_speakers,
                                                           audio_file_input_path, audio_file_input_name,
                                                           transcription_input_path, transcription_file_input_name,
                                                           detection_output_path,  hf_access_token,
