## Challenges
|
|
|
|
|
- Speaker dependency
|
|
|
|
|
- Accent

# Speech Diarisation
|
|
|
|
|
- Who speaks when?
|
|
|
|
|
- Split stream into homogenous segments for identity
|
|
|
|
|
- Structure stream into speaker turns
|
|
|
|
|
- Provide speaker identity
|
|
|
|
|
- Combination of
|
|
|
|
|
- Speaker segmentation
|
|
|
|
|
- Speaker changes in stream
|
|
|
|
|
- Speaker clustering
|
|
|
|
|
- Grouping segments together on basis of characteristics
|
|
|
|
|
- Gaussian mixture model
|
|
|
|
|
- HMM
|
|
|
|
|
- Bottom-up
|
|
|
|
|
- More popular
|
|
|
|
|
- Succession of clusters
|
|
|
|
|
- Merge redundant clusters
|
|
|
|
|
- Remaining belong to speakers
|
|
|
|
|
- Top-down
|
|
|
|
|
- Single cluster
|
|
|
|
|
- Iteratively split until speaker clusters
|
