Speaker Role

Speaker role identification (SRI) focuses on automatically determining the role of a speaker within a conversation, such as pilot versus air traffic controller or honest versus deceptive player in a game. Current research employs various approaches, including transformer-based joint models for simultaneous speech recognition and SRI, and multimodal methods that integrate acoustic and textual features using neural networks like BERT and custom architectures designed for feature fusion. Accurate SRI is crucial for improving downstream natural language processing tasks in diverse applications, from air traffic control communication analysis to enhancing human-computer interaction in games and other interactive scenarios.
