T-test distance and clustering criterion for speaker diarization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an application of student’s t-test to measure the similarity between two speaker models. The measure is evaluated by comparing with other distance metrics: the Generalized Likelihood Ratio, the Cross Likelihood Ratio and the Normalized Cross Likelihood Ratio in speaker detection task. We also propose an objective criterion for speaker clustering. The criterion deduces the number of speakers automatically by maximizing the separation between intra-speaker distances and inter-speaker distances. It requires no development data and works well with various distance metrics. We then report the performance of our proposed similarity distance measure and objective criterion in speaker diarization task. The system produces competitive results: low speaker diarization error rate and high accuracy in detecting number of speakers.

Phonetic subspace mixture model for speaker diarization
This paper presents an improved distance measure for speaker clustering in speaker diarization systems. The proposed phonetic subspace mixture (PSM) model introduces phonetic information to the BIC distance measure. Therefore, the new PSM model-based BIC distance measure can remove the effect of phonetic content on the diarization results. The typical BIC distance measure can be seen as a speci...
متن کاملGlobal Speaker Clustering towards Optimal Stopping Criterion in Binary Key Speaker Diarization
The recently proposed speaker diarization technique based on binary keys provides a very fast alternative to state-of-the-art systems with little increase of Diarization Error Rate (DER). Although the approach shows great potential, it also presents issues, mainly in the stopping criterion. Therefore, exploring alternative clustering/stopping criterion approaches is needed. Recently some works ...
متن کاملMulti-stage Speaker Diarization for Conference and Lecture Meetings
The LIMSI RT-07S speaker diarization system for the conference and lecture meetings is presented in this paper. This system builds upon the RT06S diarization system designed for lecture data. The baseline system combines agglomerative clustering based on Bayesian information criterion (BIC) with a second clustering using state-of-the-art speaker identification (SID) techniques. Since the baseli...
متن کاملProsodic and Phonetic Features for Speaker Clustering in Speaker Diarization Systems
This work is focused on speaker clustering methods that are used in speaker diarization systems. The purpose of speaker clustering is to associate together segments that belong to the same speaker and is usually applied in the last stage of the speaker-diarization process. We concentrate on developing proper representations of speaker segments for clustering. We realize two different speaker cl...
