Ultra Diar Streaming Sortformer (8-Speaker)

This model extends NVIDIA Streaming Sortformer speaker diarization from 4 speakers to 8 speakers. The original diar_streaming_sortformer_4spk-v2.1 supports up to 4 speakers; this model expands the capability to handle 5–8 speakers through fine-tuning and architectural modifications.

Model Details

• Base model: nvidia/diar_streaming_sortformer_4spk-v2.1
• Extension: 4spk → 8spk
• Framework: NeMo (NVIDIA)
• Version: 1.0.0

Code & Training

The experimental pipeline, training scripts, and inference code will be made public on GitHub at a later date. Currently available only on Hugging Face.

Training

This model was trained on 1× NVIDIA H100 GPU. We use 180 second long training samples of synthetic data with 2–8 speakers.

Usage

This model requires the NVIDIA NeMo toolkit to train, fine-tune, or perform diarization. Install NeMo after installing Cython and the latest PyTorch.

Install NeMo

apt-get update && apt-get install -y libsndfile1 ffmpeg
pip install Cython packaging
pip install git+https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo.git@main#egg=nemo_toolkit[asr]

Quick Start: Run Diarization

from nemo.collections.asr.models import SortformerEncLabelModel

# Load model from Hugging Face (requires Hugging Face token for gated models)
diar_model = SortformerEncLabelModel.from_pretrained("devsy0117/ultra_diar_streaming_sortformer_8spk_v1.0.0")
diar_model.eval()

# Streaming parameters (recommended for best performance)
diar_model.sortformer_modules.chunk_len = 340
diar_model.sortformer_modules.chunk_right_context = 40
diar_model.sortformer_modules.fifo_len = 40
diar_model.sortformer_modules.spkcache_update_period = 300

# Run diarization
predicted_segments = diar_model.diarize(audio=["/path/to/your/audio.wav"], batch_size=1)

for segment in predicted_segments[0]:
    print(segment)

Loading the Model

from nemo.collections.asr.models import SortformerEncLabelModel

# Option 1: Load directly from Hugging Face (requires Hugging Face token)
diar_model = SortformerEncLabelModel.from_pretrained("devsy0117/ultra_diar_streaming_sortformer_8spk_v1.0.0")

# Option 2: Load from a downloaded .nemo file
diar_model = SortformerEncLabelModel.restore_from(
    restore_path="/path/to/ultra_diar_streaming_sortformer_8spk_v1.0.0.nemo",
    map_location="cuda",
    strict=False,
)

diar_model.eval()

Input Format

• Single audio file: audio_input="/path/to/multispeaker_audio.wav"
• Multiple files: audio_input=["/path/to/audio1.wav", "/path/to/audio2.wav"]
