Abstract Speaker indexing refers to the process of separating speakers within a recording and assigning indices to each unique speaker. This paper describes a new speaker indexing algorithm which dynamically generates and trains a neural network to model each postulated speaker found within a recording. Each neural network is trained to differentiate the vowel spectra of one specific speaker from all other speakers. A method for combining speaker indexing and other annotations of a recording in a general framework is also presented. The speaker indexing system is currently being incorporated into several application systems in the Speech Group at the MIT Media Lab.
