Abstract : Audio segmentation is an essential problem in many audio signal processing tasks, which tries to segment an audio signal into homogeneous chunks. Rather than separately finding change points and computing similarities between segments, we focus on joint segmentation and clustering, using the framework of hidden Markov and semi-Markov models. We introduce a new incremental EM algorithm for hidden Markov models (HMMs) and show that it compares favorably to existing online EM algorithms for HMMs. We present results for real-time segmentation of musical notes and acoustic scenes.
