Robust Speaker Identification for Meetings: UPC CLEAR'07 Meeting Room Evaluation System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the authors describe the UPC speaker identification system submitted to the CLEAR’07 (Classification of Events, Activities and Relationships) evaluation. Firstly, the UPC single distant microphone identification system is described. Then the use of combined microphone inputs in two different approaches is also considered. The first approach combines signals from several microphones to obtain a single enhanced signal by means a delay and sum algorithm. The second one fuses the decision of several single distant microphone systems. In our experiments, the latter approach has provided the best results for this task.

Robust speaker diarization for meetings: ICSI RT06s evaluation system
In this paper we present the ICSI speaker diarization system submitted for the NIST Rich Transcription evaluation (RT06s) [1] conducted on the meetings environment. This is a set of yearly evaluations which in the last two years have included speaker diarization of two kinds of distinct meetings: conference room and lecture room. The system presented focuses on being robust to changes in the me...
متن کاملMultimodal Meeting Tracker
Face-to-face meetings usually encompass several modalities including speech, gesture, handwriting, and person identification. Recognition and integration of each of these modalities is important to create an accurate record of a meeting. However, each of these modalities presents recognition difficulties. Speech recognition must be speaker and domain independent, have low word error rates, and ...

In this paper the authors present the UPC speaker diarization system for the NIST Rich Transcription Evaluation (RT07s) [1] conducted on the conference environment. The presented system is based on the ICSI RT06s system, which employs agglomerative clustering with a modified Bayesian Criterion (BIC) measure to decide which pairs of clusters to merge and to determine when to stop merging cluster...

In this paper we describe the ICSI-SRI entry in the Rich Transcription 2005 Spring Meeting Recognition Evaluation. The current system is based on the ICSI-SRI clustering system for Broadcast News (BN), with extra modules to process the different meetings tasks in which we participated. Our base system uses agglomerative clustering with a BIC-like measure to determine when to stop merging cluste...
