This software was developed at the University of Texas at Dallas, Center for Robust Speech Systems (UTD-CRSS). It serves as a wrapper around multiple third-party open-source code listed below. (See Credits). This toolkit intends to provide a simple scoring mechanism streamlined for FS02 Challenge usage for all tasks mentioned in FS02 Scoring Metrics. Sumbission details for the FS02 Challenge participants are also provided through this toolkit. (See FS02 Challenge Submission). For more details, please see the FS02 Challenge Website
The scoring metrics for FS02 Challenge per Task are:
-
Speech Activity Detection (SAD):
Detection Cost Function (DCF) -
Speaker Identification (SID):
Top-5 Accuracy (% Top-5 Acc.) -
Speaker Diarization (SD):
Diarization Error Rate (% DER)a. Track 1: SD using system SAD (SD_track1)
b. Track 2: SD using reference SAD (SD_track2)
-
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR):
Word Error Rate (% WER)a. Track 1: Continuous stream ASR (ASR_track1)
b. Track 2: ASR using Diarized Segments (ASR_track2)
Submission and Evaluation rules for the FS02 Challenge tasks are provided in the submission_packet folder of the toolkit. Please refer FS02_System_Description_eg.pdf and Evaluation_and_Submission_Rules.txt files for details.

This toolkit makes use of three open source software:
KALDI: The ASR python script uses compute-wer tool from the Kaldi Speech Recognition Toolkit.
for more info, refer: Kaldi Tools.
If you have used the toolkits' ASR scripts, please consider citing the following paper:
Povey, Daniel, Arnab Ghoshal, Gilles Boulianne, Lukas Burget, Ondrej Glembek, Nagendra Goel, Mirko Hannemann et al. "The Kaldi speech recognition toolkit." In IEEE 2011 workshop on automatic speech recognition and understanding, no. CONF. IEEE Signal Processing Society, 2011. [PDF]
DSCORE: The DIARIZATION python script uses the 'dscore' toolkit developed by Neville Ryant for generating DER scores. for more info, refer: Dihard Challenge.
If you have used the toolkits' SD scripts, please consider citing the following paper:
Ryant, Neville, Kenneth Church, Christopher Cieri, Alejandrina Cristia, Jun Du, Sriram Ganapathy, and Mark Liberman. "First DIHARD challenge evaluation plan." 2018, tech. Rep. (2018). [PDF]
NIST openSAT This script uses scoreFile_SAD.pl developed by NIST. for more info, refer: OpenSAT Evaluation.
If you have used the toolkits' SAD scripts, please consider citing the following paper:

The toolkit can be used through bash shell scripts provided in ./scripts/ directory.
bash ./scripts/scoreFS02_<task_name>.sh <ref_path> <hyp_path> <out_path>
ref_path: Reference (Ground Truth) Path (Directory Path or File Path depending on the Task and track)
hyp_path: Hypothesis (System Output) Path (Directory Path or File Path depending on the Task and track)
out_path: File Path to write scores
REQUIRED Before running any script: Configuring the ./scripts/cfg_path.sh script.
Variables required to be set by users:
kaldi_path and track_num (for running ASR track 1 and 2 scripts only).
python_path : path to the desired python with the packages mentioned in Requirements.
Users can leave this variable as-is, if running scripts through a virtual environment (Tested with conda and venv).
USAGE: pip install -r requirements.txt
Optional: variables users can set (to evaluate system performance over different parameters):
sad_collar , sd_collar , and topN_eval.
For more details on the usage, please check the individual shell scripts.
Additional log files will be automatically generated, and the log path will be displayed on the terminal.
Users can also use the python scripts directly from ./scutils/scoreFS02<task-name>.py
(Usage and Documentation provided through shell scripts).
NOTE regarding ./egs/ folder: All files provided in this folder are meant for illustrative examples only, and do not correspond to the actual ground truth files for FS02 Challenge (which were provided with the challenge corpus download). These files are only meant for users to be able to run the scripts on mock data, and also to provide users with the correct file (and folder) formatting (and naming) conventions for all FS02 challenge tasks.
