New LLM framework TagSpeech enhances multi-speaker ASR and diarization

Researchers have introduced TagSpeech, a novel end-to-end framework designed for joint Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and speaker diarization. This LLM-based system utilizes Temporal Anchor Grounding to precisely identify "who spoke what and when." TagSpeech employs a parameter-efficient training method, freezing the LLM backbone and training only lightweight projectors, which leads to strong performance with reduced computational costs. Experiments on the AMI and AliMeeting benchmarks show TagSpeech outperforming existing end-to-end baselines, including Qwen Omni and Gemini, particularly in scenarios with complex speech overlaps. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve the accuracy and efficiency of transcribing multi-speaker audio, benefiting applications like meeting summarization and call center analysis.

    TagSpeech: End-to-End Multi-Speaker ASR and Diarization with Fine-Grained Temporal Grounding

    arXiv:2601.06896v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present TagSpeech, a unified LLM-based framework that utilizes Temporal Anchor Grounding for joint multi-speaker ASR and diarization. The framework is built on two key designs: (1) decoupled semantic and speaker streams…
