Abstract

In this paper we propose an unsupervised speaker change detection (SCD) system developed for mobile device applications. We use Bayesian information criterion (BIC) to find initial speaker changes, which are then verified or discarded in the second phase by utilizing modified BIC and silence detector information. Silence information usage after initial BIC in decision making is useful to separate real changes from noise peaks. Enhanced peak detector adjusts BIC penalty parameter automatically, which improve the robustness and feasibility. Improved BIC based false alarm compensation (FAC) merges effectively consecutive segments belonging to same speaker. Our experiments have shown the robustness of the algorithm and it produces very satisfactory results for difficult mobile phone recorded speech data.
