The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) is pleased to announce the
availability of the 2000 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation Corpus.
http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/LDC2001S97.html
This eight CD-ROM publication contains the data used for the 2000 NIST
Speaker Recognition Evaluation which is part of an ongoing series of
yearly evaluations conducted by NIST. These evaluations provide an
important contribution to the direction of research efforts and the
calibration of technical capabilities. They are intended to be of
interest to all researchers working on the general problem of text
independent speaker recognition. To this end the evaluation was
designed to be simple, to focus on core technology issues, to be fully
supported, and to be accessible.
This publication consists of 10,328 single channel SPHERE files
encoded in 8-bit mulaw containing a total of approximately 4.31 Gbytes
of data covering 148.9 hours of audio.
Supporting documentation for this evaluation may be found on the 2000
NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation website.

Please note that there was an optional additional corpus in the
original Evaluation. If you are interested in this "AHUMADA" corpus,
please contact Javier Ortega- Garcia of the Universidad Politecnica de
Madrid.
Information on how to contact Dr. Ortega-Garcia is available at 2000
NIST Resources.
