Abstract

The process of identifying speakers in a news program is difficult using only text information. We propose a system that will first perform text and video processing separately to identify the start of speech of a speaker. These start of speech locations are aligned and used to identify a change of speaker in the program. An analysis is performed to identify the contribution of the text and video information. It will be be shown that the change of speaker locations identified by our alignment algorithm is more accurate then either mode individually.
