Albayzin 2024 Search-on-Speech Challenge

Search on Speech Challenge (SoSC), organized by Universidad San Pablo-CEU and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, consists of finding a list of terms/queries in Spanish audio archives and is divided into two different tasks: Spoken Term Detection (STD) and Query-by-Example Spoken Term Detection (QbE-STD). Data will cover conference/workshop domain, TV shows and a novel domain that consists of a corpus of interviews with people from rural areas covering different dialectal varieties in Spain.
This evaluation involves searching in audio content a list of terms/queries and it is suitable for groups working on speech indexing/retrieval and speech recognition. In other words, this evaluation focuses on retrieving the audio files that contain any of those terms/queries along with the corresponding timestamps. A baseline system for the STD task provided by the evaluation organizers can be found at https://github.com/javiertejedornoguerales/Whisper_STD.
