Abstract

See full text

Various implementations disclosed herein include a training module configured to concurrently segment a plurality of vocalization instances of a voiced sound pattern (VSP) as vocalized by a particular speaker, who is identifiable by a corresponding set of vocal characteristics. Aspects of various implementations are used to determine a concurrent segmentation of multiple similar instances of a VSP using a modified hierarchical agglomerative clustering (HAC) process adapted to jointly and simultaneously segment multiple similar instances of the VSP. Information produced from multiple instances of a VSP vocalized by a particular speaker characterize how the particular speaker vocalizes the VSP and how those vocalizations may vary between instances. In turn, in some implementations, the information produced using the modified HAC process is sufficient to determine more a reliable detection (and/or matching) threshold metric(s) for detecting and matching the VSP as vocalized by the particular speaker.
