NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation Chronicles - Part 2

NIST has coordinated annual evaluations of text-independent speaker recognition since 1996. This update to an Odyssey 2004 paper concentrates on the past two years of the NIST evaluations. We discuss in particular the results of the 2004 and 2005 evaluations, and how they compare to earlier evaluation results. We also discuss the preparation and planning for the 2006 evaluation, which concludes with the evaluation workshop in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in June 2006
