Problems solved by technology

But this system is very sensitive to initialization, especially when a certain speaker is dominant in the speech to be tested, and the remaining speakers speak little speech, the VB-HMM method can easily distribute the speech to be tested evenly to each speaker, leading to poor labeling results

Embodiment Construction

[0085] A speaker labeling method proposed by the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0086] A speaker marking method proposed by the present invention is divided into three stages: Ivec-PLDA-AHC speaker marking stage, prior probability initialization stage and VB-HMM speaker marking stage. The number of speakers of the voice data to be tested (to be marked) used in this embodiment is S=2. The overall process of this method is as follows figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0087] 1) Ivec-PLDA-AHC speaker marking stage; the specific steps are as follows:

[0088] 1-1) Obtain a piece of speech data X to be tested, and the total number of speakers S in the speech data to be tested is known (S≥2). The voice data to be tested needs to have multiple conversations, which can be telephone voice, conference voice, and broadcast news voice. The data source can be...

Abstract

The invention proposes a speaker marking method, and belongs to the technical field of voiceprint recognition, mode recognition and machine learning. The method includes three stages: in the first stage, voice data to be tested are divided into fragments with equal length through an i-vector probabilistic linear discriminant analysis-agglomerative hierarchical clustering method, and then the fragments are clustered into categories of which the total number is equal to that of speakers; in the second stage, prior probability that a fragment belongs to a speaker is obtained; and in the third stage, iteration is performed through a variational Bayes hidden Markov method based on soft decision, when a system converges, a speaker to which a fragment belongs is calculated, and speaker marking is finished. The speaker marking method provided by the invention combines advantages of two speaker marking methods, and can effectively improve the accuracy rate of speaker marking.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical fields of voiceprint recognition, pattern recognition and machine learning, and in particular relates to a speaker marking method based on Ivec-PLDA-AHC and VB-HMM. Background technique [0002] Speaker marking is to process a segment of speech that is spoken by multiple people, and to gather the speech clips of the same speaker together, that is, to mark who is speaking and when. The significance of speaker marking is that when it is applied to teleconferences and international conferences, it can be saved as meeting records. At the same time, accurate identification of speakers will naturally help subsequent speech processing and semantic recognition. In addition, in the field of monitoring, speaker marking can record the voice and language of the monitored object, and when applied to the field of public security or military, it contributes to the protection of public security and even national security.
