Manual speaker managment to remove duplicates

[ethanzrd]

Hey,
I was wondering whether it'd be possible to manually manage speakers and check for duplicates every once in a while, as the pipeline can generate sometimes multiple speakers which end up being another existing speaker.
How would one tackle this with this library?
Thank you!

Hi @ethanzrd, I see two options to reduce duplicate speakers:

1. Increase the value of delta_new, which is essentially the distance threshold (between speaker embedding and closest cluster centroid) to detect new speakers.
2. Prune centroids in OnlineSpeakerClustering, for example when they are too close to each other you can merge them, or when they aren't used for a long time you can erase them. My experiments on this weren't very successful in terms of DER but it may be worth it to improve readability.
