contents Speaker diarization remains challenging due to the need for structured speaker representations, efficient modeling, and robustness to varying conditions. We propose a performant, compact diarization framework that integrates conformer decoders, transformer-updated attractors, and a deep clustering style angle loss. Our approach refines speaker representations with an enhanced conformer structure, incorporating cross-attention to attractors and an additional convolution module. To enforce structured embeddings, we extend deep clustering by constructing label-attractor vectors, aligning their directional structure with audio embeddings. We also impose orthogonality constraints on active attractors for better speaker separation while suppressing non-active attractors to prevent false activations. Finally, a permutation invariant training binary cross-entropy loss refines speaker detection. Experiments show that our method achieves low diarization error while maintaining parameter count.
