Abstract :
A method for segregating speech from speakers engaged in dialogs is described. The method, assuming no prior knowledge of the speakers, employs a distance measure between speech segments used in conjunction with a clustering algorithm to perform the segregation. Properties of the distance measure are discussed, and an air traffic control application is described
