Call My Net Corpus: A Multilingual Corpus for Evaluation of Speaker Recognition Technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Call My Net 2015 (CMN15) corpus presents a new resource for Speaker Recognition Evaluation and related technologies. The corpus includes conversational telephone speech recordings for a total of 220 speakers spanning 4 languages: Tagalog, Cantonese, Mandarin and Cebuano. The corpus includes 10 calls per speaker made under a variety of noise conditions. Calls were manually audited for language, speaker identity and overall quality. The resulting data has been used in the NIST 2016 SRE Evaluation and will be published in the Linguistic Data Consortium catalog. We describe the goals of the CMN15 corpus, including details of the collection protocol and auditing procedure and discussion of the unique properties of this corpus compared to prior NIST SRE evaluation corpora.

Design of Cross-lingual and Multilingual Corpora for Speaker Recognition Research and Evaluation in Indian Languages
Automatic Speaker Recognition (ASR) is an economic method of biometrics because of the availability of the low cost and powerful processors. Results of ASR are highly dependent on database, i.e., the results obtained in an ASR system are meaningless if the recording conditions are not of standard. In this paper, a methodology and a typical experimental setup used for development of corpora for ...
متن کاملSpeaker Adaptation in Continuous Speech Recognition Using MLLR-Based MAP Estimation
A variety of methods are used for speaker adaptation in speech recognition. In some techniques, such as MAP estimation, only the models with available training data are updated. Hence, large amounts of training data are required in order to have significant recognition improvements. In some others, such as MLLR, where several general transformations are applied to model clusters, the results ar...
