The SGML algorithm is deterministic and is able to find an appropriate number of components of the Gaussian mixture model GMM based on a self-splitting validity measure Bayesian information criterion BIC . It starts with a single component in the feature space and splits adaptively during the learning process until the most appropriate number of components is found. The SGML algorithm also performs well in learning the GMM with a given component number. In our experiments on clustering of a synthetic data set and the text-independent speaker identification task we have observed the ability of the SGML for model-based clustering and automatically determining the model complexity of the speaker GMMs for speaker identification.

INTRODUCTION In many applications data clustering techniques have been applied to discover and extract the hidden structure in a data set and thus the structural relationships between individual data points can be detected. Data clustering is also known
