Nist sre Introduction

Nist sre --- National Insitute of standerds and technology Speaker Recognition Evaluation, who will have control over the relevant technologies.

Nist sre introduction (from its home page)-http://www.itl.nist.gov/iad/mig//tests/sre/

The goal of the NIST Speaker Recognition evaluation (SRE) series is to contribute to the direction of research efforts and the calibration of technical capabilities of Text Independent Speaker recognition. the overarching objective of the evaluations has always been to drive the technology forward, to measure the state-of-the-art, and to find the most promising algorithmic approaches.

NIST has been coordinating Speaker Recognition evaluations since 1996. since then over 40 research sites have participant ipated in our evaluations. each year new researchers in industry and universities are encouraged to participant. collaboration between universities and industries is also welcomed.

Each evaluation begins with the announcement of the officialEvaluation PlanWhich clearly states the rules and tasks involved with the evaluation. the evaluation culminates with a follow-up workshop, where NIST reports the official results and researchers share in their findings. the current plan is to have an evaluation once every two years.

NIST maintains a general mailing list for the speaker recognition evaluation. relevant evaluation information is posted to the list. if you wocould like to join the list or have any question for NIST related to our speaker recognition evaluation, please email us at speaker_poc@nist.gov. more information regarding past and present SRE evaluations can be found in the links below.
