abstract
Transcribing and understanding multi-speaker conversations requires speech recognition, speaker attribution, and timestamp localization. While speech LLMs excel at single-speaker tasks, multi-speaker scenarios remain challenging due to overlapping speech, backchannels, rapid turn-taking, and context window constraints. We propose Speaker-Reasoner, an end-to-end Speech LLM with agentic multi-turn temporal reasoning. Instead of single-pass inference, the model iteratively analyzes global audio structure, autonomously predicts temporal boundaries, and performs fine-grained segment analysis, jointly modeling speaker identity, gender, timestamps, and transcription. A speaker-aware cache further extends processing to audio exceeding the training context window. Trained with a three-stage progressive strategy, Speaker-Reasoner achieves consistent improvements over strong baselines on AliMeeting and AISHELL-4 datasets, particularly in handling overlapping speech and complex turn-taking.
