Corpora for the evaluation of speaker recognition systems

Using standard speech corpora for development and evaluation has proven to be very valuable in promoting progress in speech and speaker recognition research. In this paper, we present an overview of current publicly available corpora intended for speaker recognition research and evaluation. We outline the corpora´s salient features with respect to their suitability for conducting speaker recognition experiments and evaluations. We hope to increase the awareness and use of these standard corpora and corresponding evaluation procedures throughout the speaker recognition community
