In a speaker content graph, vertices represent speech signals and edges represent speaker similarity. Link prediction methods calculate which potential edges are most likely to connect vertices from the same speaker; those edges are included in the generated speaker content graph. Since a variety of speaker recognition tasks can be performed on a content graph, we provide a set of metrics for evaluating the graph's quality independently of any recognition task. We then describe novel global and incremental algorithms for constructing accurate speaker content graphs that outperform the existing k nearest neighbors link prediction method. We evaluate these algorithms on a NIST speaker recognition corpus.

Many modern applications including tag based mass transit systems, RFID-based supply chain management systems and online financial feeds require special purpose event stream processing technology to analyze vast amounts of sequential multi-dimensional data available in real-time data feeds. Traditional online analytical processing (OLAP) systems are not designed for real-time pattern-based operations, while Complex Event Processing (CEP) systems are designed for sequence detection and do not support OLAP operations. We will demonstrate a novel E-Cube model that combines CEP and OLAP techniques for multi-dimensional event pattern analysis at different abstraction levels. A London transit scenario will be given to demonstrate the utility and performance of this proposed technology.
