Original Abstract

We present a condensed description and analysis of the jointsubmission of ABC team for NIST SRE 2019, by BUT, CRIM,Phonexia, Omilia and UAM. We concentrate on challenges thatarose during development and we analyze the results obtainedon the evaluation data and on our development sets. The conversationaltelephone speech (CMN2) condition is challengingfor current state-of-the-art systems, mainly due to the languagemismatch between training and test data. We show that a combinationof adversarial domain adaptation, backend adaptationand score normalization can mitigate this mismatch. On theVAST condition, we demonstrate the importance of deployingdiarization when dealing with multi-speaker utterances and thedrastic improvements that can be obtained by combining audioand visual modalities.

Keywords
