In this approach, each speaker is modeled by a Self- Organizing-Map (SOM). For estimation of the number of clusters the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) is applied. This approach was tested on the NIST 1996 HUB-4 evaluation test in terms of speaker and cluster purities. Results indicate that the combined SOM-BIC approach can lead to better clustering results than the baseline system.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2002/rr02-60.pdf}, postscript = {ftp://ftp.idiap.ch/pub/reports/2002/rr02-60.ps.gz}, ipdinar={2002}, ipdmembership={speech}, language={English}, }
