New metric evaluates persistent speaker attribution in meeting transcripts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new paper introduces SI-cpWER, a metric for evaluating persistent speaker attribution in speech transcripts across multiple meetings. Current metrics fail to assess if the same individual maintains a consistent identity over time. The study benchmarks five commercial diarization systems and two academic baselines against the ThyVoice system on the CHiME-8 and CHiME-6 datasets. ThyVoice outperformed all commercial systems in SI-cpWER, demonstrating the importance of direct evaluation for persistent attribution in long-term memory applications. AI

IMPACT Improves the accuracy and reliability of AI systems used for transcribing and archiving spoken conversations.

    Who Said What, and Will It Be Remembered? Evaluating Persistent Speaker Attribution Across Meetings

    arXiv:2609.39344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech transcripts used as long-term memory must preserve both words and stable speaker identities. Existing meeting-transcription metrics either ignore speakers or remap anonymous speakers independently in each recording, so they…
