Resources for new research directions in speaker recognition: the mixer 3, 4 and 5 corpora

Abstract

This paper describes new language resources designed to support research in speaker recognition. It begins with a brief overview of collections protocols, motivates the shift from the Switchboard protocol to the Mixer protocol, summarizes yields from the earliest phase of Mixer collection and then describes more recent phases, yields and expected yields and lessons learned. Index Terms: linguistic resources, speaker recognition, multilingual, cross-channel, intrinsic variation
