Pyannote Segmentation 3.0 — MLX

MLX-compatible weights for pyannote/segmentation-3.0 (PyanNet), converted from the official PyTorch Lightning checkpoint with pre-computed SincNet filters.

Model

PyanNet is a speaker segmentation model (~1.5M params) that processes 10-second audio windows and outputs 7-class powerset probabilities for up to 3 simultaneous speakers. Used for both voice activity detection (binary) and speaker diarization (per-speaker).

Architecture: SincNet → BiLSTM(4 layers) → Linear(2 layers) → 7-class softmax

Output classes: non-speech, spk1, spk2, spk3, spk1+2, spk1+3, spk2+3

Usage (Swift / MLX)

import SpeechVAD

// Voice Activity Detection
let vad = try await PyannoteVADModel.fromPretrained()
let segments = vad.detectSpeech(audio: samples, sampleRate: 16000)
for seg in segments {
    print("Speech: \(seg.startTime)s - \(seg.endTime)s")
}

// Speaker Diarization (with WeSpeaker embeddings)
let pipeline = try await DiarizationPipeline.fromPretrained()
let result = pipeline.diarize(audio: samples, sampleRate: 16000)
for seg in result.segments {
    print("Speaker \(seg.speakerId): \(seg.startTime)s - \(seg.endTime)s")
}

Conversion

python3 scripts/convert_pyannote.py --token YOUR_HF_TOKEN --upload

Converts the gated pyannote/segmentation-3.0 checkpoint using a custom unpickler (no pyannote.audio dependency required). Key transformations:

• SincNet: pre-compute 80 sinc bandpass filters (40 cos + 40 sin) from 40 learned (low_hz, band_hz) parameter pairs
• Conv1d: transpose weights [O, I, K] → [O, K, I] for MLX channels-last
• BiLSTM: split into forward/backward stacks, sum bias_ih + bias_hh
• Linear/classifier: kept as-is
