(MGB 2015) The Multi-Genre Broadcast (MGB) Challenge

The Multi-Genre Broadcast (MGB) Challenge is an evaluation of speech recognition, speaker diarization, dialect detection and lightly supervised alignment using TV recordings in English and Arabic. The speech data is broad and multi-genre, spanning the whole range of TV output, and represents a challenging task for speech technology. In 2015, the challenge used data from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). It was an official challenge of the 2015 IEEE Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding Workshop.
