Fully Bayesian speaker clustering based on hierarchically structured utterance-oriented Dirichlet process mixture model

چکیده
We have proposed a novel speaker clustering method based on a hierarchically structured utterance-oriented Dirichlet process mixture model. In the proposed method, the number of speakers can be determined from the given data using a nonparametric Bayesian manner and intra-speaker variability is successfully handled by multi-scale mixture modeling. Experimental result showed that the proposed method is computationally-efficient and effective in speaker clustering. The proposed method significantly improve the accuracy of speaker clustering systems as compared with the conventional method, particularly for the case in which the number of utterances varied from speaker to speaker. Index Terms Speaker clustering, nonparametric Bayesian model, Gibbs sampling, utterance-oriented Dirichlet process mixture model.

A sampling-based speaker clustering using utterance-oriented Dirichlet process mixture model and its evaluation on large scale data
An infinite mixture model is applied to model-based speaker clustering with sampling-based optimization to make it possible to estimate the number of speakers. For this purpose, a framework of non-parametric Bayesian modeling is implemented with the Markov chain Monte Carlo and incorporated in the utterance-oriented speaker model. The proposed model is called the utterance-oriented Dirichlet pr...
متن کاملSpeaker Clustering Based on Utterance-Oriented Dirichlet Process Mixture Model
This paper provides the analytical solution and algorithm of UO-DPMM based on a non-parametric Bayesian manner, and thus realizes fully Bayesian speaker clustering. We carried out preliminary speaker clustering experiments by using a TIMIT database to compare the proposed method with the conventional Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) based method, which is an approximate Bayesian approach. T...
متن کاملInfinite models for speaker clustering
In this paper we propose the use of infinite models for the clustering of speakers. Speaker segmentation is obtained trough a Dirichlet Process Mixture (DPM) model which can be interpreted as a flexible model with an infinite a priori number of components. Learning is based on a Variational Bayesian approximation of the infinite sequence. DPM model is compared with fixed prior systems learned b...

Speech is one of the most opulent and instant methods to express emotional characteristics of human beings, which conveys the cognitive and semantic concepts among humans. In this study, a statistical-based method for emotional recognition of speech signals is proposed, and a learning approach is introduced, which is based on the statistical model to classify internal feelings of the utterance....
متن کاملAdvanced mixtures for complex high dimensional data: from model-based to Bayesian non-parametric inference
Cluster analysis of complex data is an essential task in statistics and machine learning. One of the most popular approaches in cluster analysis is the one based on mixture models. It includes mixture-model based clustering to partition individuals or possibly variables into groups, block mixture-model based clustering to simultaneously associate individuals and variables to clusters, that is c...
