US Patent 10133538 Semi-supervised speaker diarization

An audio file analyzer computing system includes technologies to, among other things, localize audio events of interest (such as speakers of interest) within an audio file that includes multiple different classes (e.g., different speakers) of audio. The illustrative audio file analyzer computing system uses a seed segment to perform a semi-supervised diarization of the audio file. The seed segment is pre-selected, such as by a human person using an interactive graphical user interface.
