Speaker recognition has advanced rapidly with large-scale training datasets, yet Vietnamese remains under-resourced, with existing corpora limited in scale and acoustic diversity. Most large-scale datasets rely on facial cues to link speech with speaker identities, restricting data collection to recordings where speakers appear on camera.

The article explains how to develop a speaker‑recognition application using Claude code or Codex, focusing on practical coding techniques for building an internal tool. It provides step‑by‑step guidance on implementing the necessary components and integrating them into a functional app. The post serves as a tutorial for developers looking to create voice‑based authentication or identification systems.

The paper addresses challenges in extracting target and multiple speakers from real conversational speech, noting that real conversations contain more silence and enrolment samples that differ from the target speech. It introduces a new loss function that reduces the impact of excess silence during training, yielding improvements in STOI (from 0.55 to 0.60) and frequency‑weighted segmental SNR (from 4.35 to 5.12). The study also investigates how mismatches between enrolment and target speech affect performance.

FASTDIAR is a frame‑level speaker encoder designed for real‑time streaming diarization on a single CPU thread. It converts a state‑of‑the‑art speaker recognition architecture into a causal model that emits an embedding every 80 ms from a two‑second window, and pairs it with online clustering that updates only when the stream’s self‑similarity changes. Trained via distillation from an utterance‑level teacher, it achieves the highest accuracy on low‑overlap benchmarks, degrades less with more speakers, and runs five times faster than real time.

The paper introduces CF-AVSS, a two‑stage audio‑visual speech separation framework that first generates coarse estimates using a synchronized visual‑stream SPAV‑TFGridNet, then refines these estimates with a TFGridNet‑based target‑speaker refinement network. The final output is a fusion of coarse and refined estimates calibrated on a development set. In the ISCSLP 2026 Real‑World AVSE Challenge, the system tied for first place on Track 1 and ranked second on Track 2, achieving the lowest character error rates of 12.31 % and 14.79 % respectively.
