In this report, we describe the speaker diarization (SD) and language diarization (LD) systems developed by our team for the Second DISPLACE Challenge, 2024. Our contributions were dedicated to Track 1 for SD and Track 2 for LD in multilingual and multi-speaker scenarios. We investigated different speech enhancement techniques, voice activity detection (VAD) techniques, unsupervised domain categorization, and neural embedding extraction architectures. We also exploited the fusion of various embedding extraction models. We implemented our system with the open-source SpeechBrain toolkit. Our final submissions use spectral clustering for both the speaker and language diarization. We achieve about $7\%$ relative improvement over the challenge baseline in Track 1. We did not obtain improvement over the challenge baseline in Track 2.

The state-of-the-art audio deepfake detectors leveraging deep neural networks exhibit impressive recognition performance. Nonetheless, this advantage is accompanied by a significant carbon footprint. This is mainly due to the use of high-performance computing with accelerators and high training time. Studies show that average deep NLP model produces around 626k lbs of CO\textsubscript{2} which is equivalent to five times of average US car emission at its lifetime. This is certainly a massive threat to the environment. To tackle this challenge, this study presents a novel framework for audio deepfake detection that can be seamlessly trained using standard CPU resources. Our proposed framework utilizes off-the-shelve self-supervised learning (SSL) based models which are pre-trained and available in public repositories. In contrast to existing methods that fine-tune SSL models and employ additional deep neural networks for downstream tasks, we exploit classical machine learning algorithms such as logistic regression and shallow neural networks using the SSL embeddings extracted using the pre-trained model. Our approach shows competitive results compared to the commonly used high-carbon footprint approaches. In experiments with the ASVspoof 2019 LA dataset, we achieve a 0.90\% equal error rate (EER) with less than 1k trainable model parameters. To encourage further research in this direction and support reproducible results, the Python code will be made publicly accessible following acceptance.
