Abstract
A diarization embodiment may include a system that clusters data up to a current point in time and consolidates it with the past decisions, and then returns the result that minimizes the difference with past decisions. The consolidation may be achieved by performing a permutation of the different possible labels and comparing the distance. For speaker diarization, a distance may be determined based on a minimum edit or hamming distance. The distance may alternatively be a measure other than the minimum edit or hamming distance. The clustering may have a finite time window over which the analysis is performed.
