text: In transcription of broadcast news, dividing the signal into homogeneous segments,
and clustering together similar segments is important. Decoding a complete broadcast
news program in one chunk is technically di cult. Also, through creation of homogeneous
clusters of segments, improvement from adaptation can be increased. Two systems
of segmentation and clustering are compared. The best system used the BIC algorithm
to produce long, homogeneous segments, and a nearest neighbour bottom-up agglomerative
clustering algorithm to produce homogeneous clusters. Adaptation brought a word
error rate (WER) improvement from 23:4% to 21:0% using the automatic segmentation
and clustering, compared to an improvement from 21:8% to 20:0% using a handmade
\correct" segmentation and clustering.
