Human Assisted Speaker Recognition in NIST 2010 Speaker Recognition Evaluation

Abstract

The 2010 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation or SRE10 (see SLTC Newsletter, July 2010) included a pilot test of human assisted speaker recognition (HASR). This test, which was open to sites whether or not they participated in the main evaluation of fully automatic systems, involved utilizing human expertise in combination with automatic algorithms on a limited set of trials chosen to be particularly challenging. In this evaluation, with specially chosen difficult trials, there was no evidence of human expertise contributing to system performance. But this was only a pilot test on limited numbers of trials, with little overall statistical significance. The possible contributions of human expertise on less challenging trials were not investigated.
