Researchers have developed FASTDIAR, a novel system for frame-level speaker diarization designed for real-time conversational agents. Unlike traditional methods that process audio in large chunks, FASTDIAR uses a causal frame-level encoder that processes the audio stream continuously, emitting embeddings every 80 milliseconds. This approach, trained via distillation from an utterance-level model, achieves high accuracy on low-overlap benchmarks with sub-second latency and runs significantly faster than existing systems on a single CPU thread.
