Original Abstract

In this paper, besides presenting the setup, datasets and performance measures of the SWS 2013 evaluation, we have analyzed the results obtained by the submitted systems and presented a postevaluation study where the 10 best-performing systems were incrementally fused (at the score level), obtaining a 30%relative improvement over the best-performing individual system, proving the benefits of combining independent or complementary sources of information or different modeling approaches. Given the increasing interest for this task in the community, we are already planning a new edition of the SWS evaluation, renamed QUESST, i.e. Query by Example Spoken Search Task, within the Mediaeval 2014 benchmark campaign. This year, we will continue tackling the problem of low-resource settings and will introduce a component of variability between queries and references, allowing for a limited amount of acoustic insertions to still be considered matches.
