• Abstract: The SdSv challenge Task 2 provided an opportunity to assess efficiency and robustness of modern text-independent speaker verification systems. But it also made it possible to test new approaches, capable of taking into account the main issues of this challenge (duration, language, ...). This paper describes the contributions of our laboratory to the speaker recognition field. These contributions highlight two other challenges in addition to short-duration and language: the mismatch between enrollment and test data and the one between subsets of the evaluation trial dataset. The proposed approaches experimentally show their relevance and efficiency on the SdSv evaluation, and could be of interest in many real-life applications.

  The VoxCeleb Speaker Recognition Challenges (VoxSRC) were a series of challenges and workshops that ran annually from 2019 to 2023. The challenges primarily evaluated the tasks of speaker recognition and diarisation under various settings. We provide a review of these challenges that covers: what they explored; the methods developed by the challenge participants and how these evolved.

  Large language models (LLMs) bring unprecedented flexibility in defining and executing complex, creative natural language generation (NLG) tasks. We propose a three-component research framework that consists of systematic input manipulation, reference data, and output measurement. We use this framework to explore citation text generation -- a popular scholarly NLP task that lacks consensus on the task definition and evaluation metric.

We propose a novel few-shot prompting method called SMT-LIB Prompting (SLP), which utilizes the SMT-LIB language to model the problems instead of solving them directly.

AWEs have previously shown utility in capturing acoustic discriminability. Our findings underscore the acoustic context conveyed by AWEs and showcase the highly competitive Speech Emotion Recognition accuracies.

  This study delves into the capabilities and limitations of Large Language Models (LLMs) in the challenging domain of conditional question-answering. Our findings reveal that fine-tuned LLMs can surpass the state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in some cases, even without fully encoding all input context. These models encounter challenges in extractive question answering, where they lag behind the SOTA by over 10 points, and in mitigating the risk of injecting false information.

  This paper focuses on assessing the effectiveness of prompt-based techniques to empower Large Language Models to handle the task of quality estimation. We conducted systematic experiments with various prompting techniques, including standard prompting, prompts informed by annotator instructions, and innovative chain-of-thought prompting. Our work reveals that combining these approaches using a "small", open source model (orca_mini_v3_7B) yields competitive results.

  Speaker verification (SV) provides billions of voice-enabled devices with access control, and ensures the security of voice-driven technologies. Current SV evaluation practices are insufficient for evaluating bias: they are over-simplified and aggregate users, not representative of real-life usage scenarios. This paper proposes design guidelines for constructing SV evaluation datasets that address these short-comings.
