Issue with Using pyannote/speaker-diarization Gated Model in Colab and API

Beginners
1

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on my engineering thesis, which involves analyzing speaker diarization for Polish audio files. I’m trying to use the pyannote/speaker-diarization model to perform this task, but I’ve encountered several issues that I haven’t been able to resolve, even after trying various approaches. Here’s a summary of my problem:

  1. Access Granted but Model Not Running:
  • I’ve been granted access to the gated model on Hugging Face. However, when I try to use the model through the Inference API widget on the model’s page, I receive the error: “The API does not support running gated models for community models with framework: pyannote-audio.”
  1. Attempt with Google Colab:
  • I tried running the model locally using Google Colab and pyannote.audio. Despite authenticating successfully with my Hugging Face token, I encountered the following error: “AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘eval’.”
  1. Context of My Work:
  • As part of my thesis, I need to analyze audio files and identify the number of speakers present. I have limited time to complete this, and I’m unsure how to proceed given these obstacles.

Could you please guide me on:

  • How to properly use the model via the Inference API or another simple method.
  • Resolving the issues I’m encountering in Colab.
  • Any alternative approaches for speaker diarization with Hugging Face models.

I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions, as this is a critical part of my thesis, and I’m running out of time.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Ola
