Abstract

The SRI speaker recognition system for the 2008 NIST speaker recognition evaluation (SRE) incorporates a variety of models and features, both cepstral and stylistic. We highlight the improvements made to specific subsystems and analyze the performance of various subsystem combinations in different data conditions. We show the importance of language and nativeness conditioning, as well as the role of ASR for speaker verification.
