Abstract
Unsupervised speaker change detection is addressed in this paper. Three speaker segmentation systems are examined. The first system investigates the AudioSpectrumCentroid and the AudioWaveformEnvelope features, implements a dynamic fusion scheme, and applies the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). The second system consists of three modules. In the first module, a second-order statistic-measure is extracted; the Euclidean distance and the T2 Hotelling statistic are applied sequentially in the second module; and BIC is utilized in the third module. The third system, first uses a metric-based approach, in order to detect potential speaker change points, and then the BIC criterion is applied to validate the previously detected change points. Experiments are carried out on a dataset, which is created by concatenating speakers from the TIMIT database. A systematic performance comparison among the three systems is carried out by means of one-way ANOVA method and post hoc Tukeys method. © 2007 IEEE.
