Fast Incremental Clustering of Gaussian Mixture Speaker Models for Scaling up Retrieval In On-Line Broadcast

In this paper, we introduce a hierarchical classification approach in the incremental framework of speaker indexing. The technique of incremental generation of speaker-homogeneous segments is applied in the first phase. Then, we propose a hierarchical classification approach that applied in the speaker indexing framework. This approach benefits from the efficiency of Gaussian mixture model (GMM) merge algorithm to the high accuracy of update Gaussian mixture models which referenced by speakers tree index. The adaptive threshold algorithm reduces the cost of exploring the speakers GMM into the balanced binary tree of speaker's index, whose complexity becomes logarithmic curve
