The 2019 Inaugural Fearless Steps Challenge - Task1: Speech Activity Detection² 链接：link
本文方法在比赛所有27个提交系统中性能排名第一（1/27）：DCF=3.318% (on evaluation dataset)

数据集：the Fearless Steps (FS) Challenge Corpus

• comprised of three mission critical stages from the NASA’s Apollo-11 mission, viz., Lift Off, Lunar Landing, and Lunar Walking
• 30 individual synchronized analog communications channels with multiple speakers in different locations working real-time to accomplish NASA’s Apollo missions
• most of the audio channels suffer from a wide range of issues like high channel noise, system noise, attenuated signal bandwidth, transmission noise, cosmic noise, analog tape static noise, noise from tape aging, etc., with noise levels varying within each channel across time

数据集时长：training set ~60h; development set ~20h10min; evaluation set ~20h；采样率：8KHz
NOTE: The training labels provided, are not ground truth; they are system outputs generated by our Baseline Systems.

评价指标：DCF (Detection Cost Function)

$$DCF(\theta )=0.75\ast P_{FN}(\theta )+0.25\ast P$$
