Should you rely on this paper?

This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.

Use this as background context only. Do not make protocol decisions from this page alone.

Low-signal caution for protocol decisions

Use this page for context, then validate protocol choices against stronger HFEPX references before implementation decisions.

The available metadata is too thin to trust this as a primary source.
The abstract does not clearly describe the evaluation setup.

Abstract

Cross-lingual speaker verification (SV) systems typically exhibit performance degradation when enrollment and test utterances are spoken in different languages. However, standard evaluation protocols confound language mismatch with inter-speaker variability, as evaluation is generally performed with different speakers across languages. In this work, we introduce a bilingual same-speaker evaluation set for five Iberian languages, enabling analysis of cross-lingual SV under constant speaker identity. We apply this setup to a HuBERT-based SV system previously shown to exhibit strong language dependence, and analyze results using the Cross-Lingual Transfer Matrix (CLTM) to study pairwise cross-lingual transfer. Our results show that speaker-related variability accounts for part of the observed degradation, but language mismatch remains the main driver of cross-lingual performance loss. These findings provide a more precise characterization of language dependence in cross-lingual SV.
