Second DIHARD Challenge Development - SEEDLingS

This release, when combined with Second DIHARD Challenge Development - Eleven Sources (LDC2021S10), contains the development set audio data and annotation, except for CHiME-5 audio files, which must be obtained from the University of Sheffield.

The DIHARD Challenges are a set of shared tasks on diarization focusing on "hard" diarization; that is, speech diarization for challenging corpora where there was an expectation that existing state-of-the-art systems would fare poorly. As with the first challenge, the second development and evaluation sets were drawn from a diverse sampling of sources including monologues, map task dialogues, broadcast interviews, sociolinguistic interviews, meeting speech, speech in restaurants, clinical recordings, extended child language acquisition recordings, and YouTube videos.
