What is wavlm-base-plus-sd?
WavLM Base Plus SD is a specialized speech processing model designed for speaker diarization tasks. Built on the HuBERT framework, it incorporates advanced features like gated relative position bias and utterance mixing training strategy. The model processes 16kHz sampled speech audio and is particularly effective at both spoken content modeling and speaker identity preservation.
Implementation Details
The model leverages a Transformer architecture enhanced with gated relative position bias. It was pre-trained on a massive dataset of 94,000 hours of speech data and fine-tuned specifically for speaker diarization using the LibriMix dataset. The implementation includes a linear layer for mapping network outputs to speaker classifications.
