NIST 2024 Speaker Recognition Evaluation (SRE24)
The 2024 Speaker Recognition Evaluation (SRE24) is the next in an ongoing series of speaker recognition evaluations conducted by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) since 1996. The objectives of the evaluation series are to (1) effectively measure system-calibrated performance of the current state of technology, (2) provide a common framework that enables the research community to explore promising new ideas in speaker recognition, and (3) support the community in their development of advanced technology incorporating these ideas. The evaluations are intended to be of interest to all researchers working on the general problem of text-independent speaker recognition. To this end, the evaluations are designed to focus on core technology issues and to be simple and accessible to those wishing to participate.
SRE24 will be organized similar to SRE21, focusing on speaker detection over conversational telephone speech (CTS) and audio from video (AfV). It will again offer cross-source (i.e., CTS and AfV) and cross-lingual trials, thanks to a new multimodal and multilingual (i.e., with multilingual subjects) corpus collected outside North America. However, it will also introduce two new features as compared to previous SREs, including enrollment segment duration variability and shorter duration test segments.
SRE24 will offer both fixed and open training conditions to allow uniform cross-system comparisons and to understand the effect of additional and unconstrained amounts of training data on system performance. Similar to SRE21, SRE24 will consist of three tracks: audio-only, visual-only, and audio-visual, which involves automatic person detection using audio, image, and video materials. System submission is required for the audio and audio-visual tracks, and optional for the visual track.
In order to participate in SRE24, one site in the team must have either successfully participated in a previous SRE or submitted a reasonable system output to the CTS Challenge (https://sre.nist.gov/cts-challenge).
