The task of speaker diarization aims to determine which speakers spoke when in a recording. Such functionality could help to accelerate work in endangered languages by facilitating transcription and semi-automatically extracting useful meta-data to enrich language archives. However, there has been little work on speaker diarization for low-resource or endangered languages. This work explores three neural approaches to speaker diarization applied to data sets drawn from endangered language archives. We find consistent improvements for recent neural x-vector models over earlier approaches. We also assess the factors which impact performance across models and data sets, with a focus on the challenging characteristics of endangered language recordings.
