NIST SRE 2006

The year 2006 NIST speaker recognition evaluation (SRE-06) is part of an ongoing series of yearly evaluations conducted by NIST. These evaluations provide an important contribution to the direction of research efforts and the calibration of technical capabilities. They are intended to be of interest to all researchers working on the general problem of text independent speaker recognition. To this end the evaluation is designed to be simple, to focus on core technology issues, to be fully supported, and to be accessible to those wishing to participate.

SRE-06 focuses on the task of speaker detection. This task is posed primarily in the context of conversational telephone speech. NIST provides all the data required for a system to be evaluated, including data to train hundreds of speaker models and thousands of data segments to be used for testing.

Participation in the evaluation is invited for all sites that find the tasks and evaluation of interest. For more information, refer to last year's page - this will be updated in the spring 2006 register to participate in the evaluation, visit the SRE-05 website. Here you will find all the information needed to participate, including the detailed evaluation specification document and the registration form.

Participation in the NIST-SRE06 workshop is restricted to participants in NIST-SRE06 evaluation.

The NIST workshop is supported and partially sponsored by the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico
