Checklist AICC 2025 Round 1 · Task 3

Is that audio?

Predict an anonymised language label for short speech clips drawn from heterogeneous public speech datasets.

  • Audio
  • Closed-set audio classification (spoken-language labels, anonymised)

The task

The clips were assembled from public speech datasets, and each carries an anonymised class label (remapped to dataset-specific anonymised IDs). Quality, loudness, background noise, speaker accent and recording conditions vary between clips.

The training metadata list clip paths and their target language labels, which may include noise or mislabels. Sampling rates, durations and volume levels vary. Every test clip belongs to one of the classes present in the training set.

Contestants predict the label of each test clip using only the provided training data.

Abridged by SOTA from the official materials. The official statement has the exact rules, and it wins wherever this summary differs.
