Abstract

Embodiments for measuring content coherence and embodiments for measuring content similarity are described. Content coherence between a first audio section and a second audio section is measured. For each audio segment in the first audio section, a predetermined number of audio segments in the second audio section are determined. Content similarity between the audio segment in the first audio section and the determined audio segments is higher than that between the audio segment and all the other audio segments in the second audio section. An average of the content similarity between the audio segment in the first audio section and the determined audio segments is calculated. The content coherence is calculated as an average, the maximum or the minimum of the averages calculated for the audio segments in the first audio section. The content similarity may be calculated based on Dirichlet distribution.
