A metric-based approach to speaker change detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper deals with the problem of automatic speaker change detection. A new metric-based algorithm, called AlgBICMap algorithm, is proposed in this paper. The AlgBICMap algorithm allows to create a map of BIC (Bayessian Information Criterion), which enables us to detect efficiently fields of speech of individual speakers. In comparison with a typical metric-based approach, the advantage of the proposed algorithm is its robustness because it uses more information, not only information provided by adjacent windows. In addition to that, the AlgBICMap algorithm can be used also for speaker tracking tasks.

AlgBICMap–Voiced: An Algorithm for Speaker Change Detection
The paper deals with the problem of automatic speaker change detection. A metric-based algorithm, called the AlgBICMap algorithm, was proposed in [1]. The AlgBICMap–Voiced is a modification of that algorithm and enables us to decrease the number of false alarms. The algorithm allows to create a map of BIC (Bayessian Information Criterion). The map enables us to detect efficiently fields of spee...
متن کاملRemes Speaker - Based Segmentation and Adaptation in Automatic Speech Recognition
With proper training, automatic speech recognition works quite well when tested in conditions similar to the training conditions, but with a new speaker or a new environment the system performance often degrades. Speaker-based adaptation alters the speech recognition system to better match a specific speaker and thus improves the speech recognition results. In order to use speaker adaptation, t...
متن کاملModified DISTBIC algorithm for speaker change detection
The paper deals with the problem of automatic speaker change detection. A metric-based algorithm, called MDISTBIC, which means Modified DISTBIC, is proposed in this paper. The algorithm originates from the DISTBIC algorithm and modifies it in order to reach a higher efficiency. Both the DISTBIC and the MDISTBIC methods are tested in a number of experiments. As the results show, the MDISTBIC alg...
متن کاملSpeaker Change Detection using Support Vector Machines
Speaker change detection is important for automatic segmentation of multispeaker speech data into homogeneous segments with each segment containing the data of one speaker only. Existing approaches for speaker change detection are based on the dissimilarity of the distributions of the data before and after a speaker change point. In this paper, we propose a classification based technique for sp...
متن کاملA novel method for two-speaker segmentation
This paper addresses the problem of speaker based audio data segmentation. A novel method that has the advantages of both model and metric based techniques is proposed which creates a model for each speaker from the available data on the fly. This can be viewed as building a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) for the data with speakers abstracted as the hidden states. Each speaker/state is modeled with ...
