We propose a data cleansing method that utilizes a neural analysis and synthesis (NANSY++) framework to train an end-to-end neural diarization model (EEND) for singer diarization. Our proposed model converts song data with chorus singing which is commonly contained in popular music and unsuitable for generating a simulated dataset to the solo singing data. This cleansing is based on NANSY++, which is a framework trained to reconstruct an input non-overlapped audio signal. We exploit the pre-trained NANSY++ to convert chorus singing into clean, non-overlapped audio. This cleansing process mitigates the mislabeling of chorus singing to solo singing and helps the effective training of EEND models even when the majority of available song data contains chorus sections. We experimentally evaluated the EEND model trained with a dataset using our proposed method using annotated popular duet songs. As a result, our proposed method improved 14.8 points in diarization error rate.
