Abstract : This work tries to investigate the use of a Convolutional Neu-ral Network approach and its fusion with more traditional systems such as Total Variability Space for speaker identification in TV broadcast data. The former uses spectrograms for training, while the latter is based on MFCC features. The dataset poses several challenges such as significant class imbalance or background noise and music. Even though the performance of the Convolutional Neural Network is lower than the state-of-the-art, it is able to complement it and give better results through fusion. Different fusion techniques are evaluated using both early and late fusion.
