| Abstract | Automatic language recognition on spontaneous speech has experienced a rapiddevelopment in the last few years. This development has been in part due to thecompetitive technological Language Recognition Evaluations (LRE) organized bythe National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Until now, the needto have clearly defined and consistent evaluations has kept some real-lifeapplication issues out of these evaluations. In particular, all past NIST LREshave used exclusively conversational telephone speech (CTS) for development andtest. Fortunately this has changed in the current NIST LRE since it includesalso broadcast speech. However, for testing only the telephone speech found inbroadcast data will be used. In real-life applications, there could be severalmore types of speech and systems could be forced to use a mix of differenttypes of data for training and development and recognition. In this article, wehave defined a test-bed including several types of speech data and haveanalyzed how a typical language recognition system works using different typesof speech, and also a combination of different types of speech, for trainingand testing. |
