Abstract
A method includes obtaining a multi-utterance training sample that includes audio data characterizing utterances spoken by two or more different speakers and obtaining ground-truth speaker change intervals indicating time intervals in the audio data where speaker changes among the two or more different speakers occur. The method also includes processing the audio data to generate a sequence of predicted speaker change tokens using a sequence transduction model. For each corresponding predicted speaker change token, the method includes labeling the corresponding predicted speaker change token as correct when the predicted speaker change token overlaps with one of the ground-truth speaker change intervals. The method also includes determining a precision metric of the sequence transduction model based on a number of the predicted speaker change tokens labeled as correct and a total number of the predicted speaker change tokens in the sequence of predicted speaker change tokens.
