End-to-end neural diarization models have usually relied on a multilabel-classification formulation of the speaker diarization problem. Recently, we proposed a powerset multiclass formulation that has beaten the state-of-the-art on multiple datasets. In this paper, we propose to study the calibration of a powerset speaker diarization model, and explore some of its uses. We study the calibration in-domain, as well as out-of-domain, and explore the data in low-confidence regions. The reliability of model confidence is then tested in practice: we use the confidence of the pretrained model to selectively create training and validation subsets out of unannotated data, and compare this to random selection. We find that top-label confidence can be used to reliably predict high-error regions. Moreover, training on low-confidence regions provides a better calibrated model, and validating on low-confidence regions can be more annotation-efficient than random regions.
