原文摘要
Speaker diarization systems produce segmentation errors, such as false splits and boundary misplacements, that degrade transcript readability and downstream applications. We present CBAL (Context-Based Agentic Learning), a post-processing framework that refines segmentation boundaries in diarized scripts through targeted error correction. CBAL detects potential segmentation errors using acoustic and temporal heuristics and employs a lightweight LLM agent to reason about merge decisions, validating corrections through uncertainty-aware filtering with signal-based constraints. CBAL achieves 93.4% accuracy across 359 applied merges and reduces segment count by 6.1%. We demonstrate that our framework identifies and corrects high-confidence errors while maintaining 0% degradation in terms of concatenated minimum-permutation Word Error Rate (cpWER). An ablation study confirms that each component contributes non-redundantly, demonstrating the viability of interpretable refinement frameworks that use the strengths of acoustic models and language understanding without requiring end-to-end retraining.
