| Abstract: | This paper addresses unsupervised speaker indexing and automatic speech recognition of discussions.In speaker indexing, there are two cases, where the number of speakers is unknown and known beforehand. When the specified number is unknown, it is difficult to apply to various data because it needs to determine several parameters like threshold.In addition, serious problems arise in applying a uniform modelbecause variations in the utterance durations of speakers are large. We thus propose a method which can robustly perform speaker indexing for the two cases using a flexible framework in which an optimal speaker model (GMM or VQ) is selected based on the BIC. Moreover, we propose a combination method of speaker adaptation based on speaker selection and the indexing method. For real discussion archives, we demonstrated that indexing performance is higher than that of conventional methods for the two cases and speech recognition performance was improved by the combination method. | ||
