Abstract
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) coordinated in 2005 an evaluation of language recognition capabilities of research systems developed by twelve participating sites. This evaluation followed fairly similar evaluations in 1996 and 2003. We describe here the protocols of the 2005 evaluation, including the data used, the evaluation rules, and the scoring metric. We present the overall performance results and compare these to results for the previous evaluations. We also discuss how the results varied across languages and the results of limited dialect recognition tests involving English and Mandarin speech data
