Podcasts are conversational in nature and speaker changes are frequent—requiring speaker diarization for content understanding. We propose an unsupervised technique for speaker diarization without relying on language-specific components. The algorithm is overlap-aware and does not require information about the number of speakers. Our approach shows 79% improvement on purity scores (34% on F-score) against the Google Cloud Platform solution on podcast data.
