Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a method for segmenting speech into subword speech segments. Optimal boundary locations for each estimate of a number of segments are determined within an estimated range of the number of segments. In addition, an optimality criteria is found for each estimate of the number of segments within the range. Using the optimality criteria, the optimal number of subwords are determined. From the location of the boundaries and the optimal number of segments, data can be clustered or speech can be segmented. The method can be used in data processing systems, speaker verification, medium size vocabulary speech recognition systems, language identification systems and coarse subword level speech segmentation processes.
