Abstract
This paper presents S2SND-v2, a unified online and offline speaker diarization framework built on S2SND that improves acoustic feature extraction and the use of the resulting representations. For acoustic feature extraction, we introduce a speaker-adapted w2v-BERT 2.0 front end and compare full and pruned construction routes. To better use these features, overlap-aware activity-query masking improves speaker embedding extraction under overlap, while late-speaker training aligns unknown-speaker training with online inference conditions. Combining these improvements, the pruned system achieves competitive average diarization error rates of 14.52% online and 12.03% offline across eight test sets.
