New SI-cpWER benchmark tests persistent speaker identity across meetings; ThyVoice leads at 47.13

A new HF paper introduces Speaker Identified cpWER (SI-cpWER), scoring a corpus under one global speaker-ID assignment to measure whether the same person keeps one identity across meetings. Evaluated on the full 129-meeting CHiME-8 NOTSOFAR set plus CHiME-6 against five commercial cascades and two academic baselines, the end-to-end ThyVoice system (overlap repair plus gated voiceprint updates) beats every commercial system in all conditions, 47.13 vs 54.75 mean SI-cpWER for the runner-up. Persistent attribution must be evaluated directly in memory-reuse systems.
