Real-time unsupervised speaker change detection

Abstract

Information on speaker change point is very useful for speaker tracking and other applications. In this paper, we presented an effective algorithm for automatic speaker change detection based on LSP correlation analysis. Moreover, a general case is considered, in which the speaker and speaker number are both assumed unknown. The algorithm has low complexity and can be processed in real-time with a limit delay. Our experiments have shown that the algorithms produce very satisfactory results.
