Abstract	Speaker overlap in meetings is thought to be a significant contributor to error in speaker diarization, but it is not clear if overlaps are problematic for speaker clustering and/or if errors could be addressed by assigning multiple labels in overlap regions. In this paper, we look at these issues experimentally, assuming perfect detection of overlaps, to assess the relative importance of these problems and the potential impact of overlap detection. With our best features, we find that detecting overlaps could potentially improve diarization accuracy by 15% relative, using a simple strategy of assigning speaker labels in overlap regions according to the labels of the neighboring segments. In addition, the use of cross-correlation features with MFCC's reduces the performance gap due to overlaps, so that there is little gain from removing overlapped regions before clustering.
