Speaker Diarization
Tomášek, Pavel ; Karafiát, Martin (referee) ; Matějka, Pavel (advisor)
This work aims at a task of speaker diarization. The goal is to implement a system which is able to decide "who spoke when". Particular components of implementation are described. The main parts are feature extraction, voice activity detection, speaker segmentation and clustering and finally also postprocessing. This work also contains results of implemented system on test data including a description of evaluation. The test data comes from the NIST RT Evaluation 2005 - 2007 and the lowest error rate for this dataset is 18.52% DER. Results are compared with diarization system implemented by Marijn Huijbregts from The Netherlands, who worked on the same data in 2009 and reached 12.91% DER.

Speaker Segmentation using statistical methods of classification
Adamský, Aleš ; Přinosil, Jiří (referee) ; Smékal, Zdeněk (advisor)
The thesis discusses in detail some concepts of speech and prosody that can contribute to build a speech corpus for the speaker segmentation purpose. Moreover, the Elan multimedia annotator used for labeling is described. The theoretical part highlights some frequently used speech features such as MFCC, PLP and LPC and deals with currently most popular speech segmentation methods. Some classification algorithms are also mentioned. The practical part describes implementation of Bayesian information criterium algorithm in system for automatic speaker segmentation. For classification of speaker change point in speech, were used different speech features. The results of tests were evaluated by the graphic method of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and his quantitative indices. As the best speech features for this system were provided MFCC and HFCC.
