Abstract

To simplify the jobs of speaker diarization and speech separation, at first, speech signal should be segregated to two speech formats, dialog and mixture. This paper describes a new algorithm which achieves that first step efficiently. The algorithm is based on Perceptual Linear Predictive feature extraction, optimized k-means and both top-down & bottom-up scenarios. After extracting features of the observation signal, k-means clusters the statistical properties such as variances of the PDF (histogram) of clustered extracted features. k-means is optimized by discounting the worst pattern of clustering step through doing the k-means procedure twice. The feedback loop is necessary for the guiding of the optimized k-means by exploiting the attributes of ordinary k-means. The results of segregation are excellent. The calculated diarization error rate of outputs is very limited.
