The 2009 NIST Language Recognition Evaluation

چکیده
This paper reviews the 2009 NIST Language Recognition Evaluation (LRE09), the most recent in a series held since 1996, which have evaluated automatic systems for language recognition. The 2009 evaluation was notable for including a larger number of target and non-target languages, for primarily utilizing “found” narrowband conversational broadcast data from the Voice of America, and for including a language pairs test condition that included examination of performance at distinguishing several particularly interesting and confusable pairs of languages. Overall, the broadcast data proved roughly comparable in difficulty with the type of collected conversational telephone date utilized previously. Improvement was seen in best system performance levels for some test conditions.

NIST language recognition evaluation - plans for 2015
We discuss two NIST coordinated evaluations of automatic language recognition technology planned for calendar year 2015 along with possible additional plans for the future. The first is the Language Recognition i-Vector Machine Learning Challenge, largely modeled on the 2013-2014 Speaker Recognition i-Vector Machine Learning Challenge. This online challenge, emphasizing the language identificat...

This paper summarizes the BUT-AGNITIO system for NIST Language Recognition Evaluation 2009. The post-evaluation analysis aimed mainly at improving the quality of the data (fixing language label problems and detecting overlapping speakers in the training and development sets) and investigation of different compositions of the development set. The paper further investigates into JFA-based acousti...

This paper presents the systems submitted by ATVS – Biometric Recognition Group at 2009 language recognition evaluation, organized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology of United States (NIST LRE’09). Apart from the huge size of the databases involved, two main factors turn the evaluation into a very difficult task. First, the number of languages to be recognized was the biggest...
متن کاملFusing language information from diverse data sources for phonotactic language recognition
The baseline approach in building phonotactic language recognition systems is to characterize each language by a single phonotactic model generated from all the available languagespecific training data. When several data sources are available for a given target language, system performance can be improved using language source-dependent phonotactic models. In this case, the common practice is t...
