Visual speaker model exploration

Abstract: We present an interactive visualization system for the analysis of Gaussian mixture speaker models. The system exhibits the inner workings of the model intuitively by visualizing graphical representations of its parameters and of the underlying acoustical data at the same time. This enables the exploration of new modeling possibilities in the context of speaker clustering tasks.
