Abstract
In this paper, we describe the "Spoken Web Search" Task, which
was held as part of the 2012 MediaEval benchmark evaluation campaign.
The purpose of this task was to perform audio search with audio
input in four languages, with very few resources being available.
Continuing in the spirit of the 2011 SpokenWeb Search Task, which
used speech from four Indian languages, the 2012 data was taken
from the LWAZI corpus, to provide even more diversity and allow
for a task that will allow both zero resource "pattern matching" approaches
and "speech recognition" based approaches to participate.
In this paper, we summarize the results from several independent
systems, developed by nine teams, analyze their performance, and
provide directions for future research.
