Summary and Scope
The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been hosting evaluations of speaker recognition technology since 1996. The most recent NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation (SRE) was held in 2024, with an evaluation workshop in December 2024. As is often the case, only preliminary results were available at the time of the workshop, and many of the subsequent publications have been summary in nature. This special session is intended to encourage papers that look more deeply at the evaluation, including the data and the results. We believe that the SRE24 data is rich enough to fuel deeper research, and want participants to feel free to go beyond tweaking parameters and adding yet another system to their fusion. New analysis is preferable, but not necessary and topics of interest include, but are not limited to: cross-lingual speaker recognition, mismatched data source performance effects (e.g., telephony vs audio from video), and enrollment duration performance effects.
