The 2011 NIST Language Recognition Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 2011, NIST held the most recent in an ongoing series of Language Recognition Evaluations originating in 1996. The 2011 NIST Language Recognition Evaluation (LRE11) featured 24 languages, including nine languages new to the LRE series, from two different source types, and had participation from 23 research organizations. LRE11 utilized a new evaluation metric, which focused on difficult to distinguish language pairs. The most difficult pairs were generally contained within clusters of linguistically similar languages. For example, the Hindi/Urdu pair and the Lao/Thai pair both proved to be very challenging to distinguish. Pashto and Bengali were found to be confusable with a wide range of languages, and some progress was observed in distinguishing American English from Indian English.

The Institute for Infocomm Research (IIR) team submitted two systems, namely the primary iir_primary_llr and the contrastive iir_contrast1_llr, to the 2011 NIST Language Recognition Evaluation (LRE). Both systems are based on the fusion of multiple classifiers. These classifiers are broadly divided into two groups: acoustic and phonotactic. Included in the submission are the result files: iir1/...

متن کاملNIST Language Recognition Evaluation – Past and Future
This is a review of the six NIST Language Recognition Evaluations from 1996 to 2011. The evolving nature of the task is described, including the (non-)distinction between language and dialect. The languages/dialects tested are noted, and the challenges of data collection for such evaluations and the collections actually undertaken are reviewed. The performance measures employed are defined, and...
