4. Corpora for Speaker Recognition Research and Evaluation in Oriya. ( communicated by : Prakash, Debeesantosh from Logica CMG )
After a long wait, finally our Research paper on “Corpora for Speaker Recognition Research and Evaluation in Oriya” is published in IEEE Xplore. The research was carried out to implement technology for future usage in dialect classifications and it was a marvelous experience with all of us when we were been to remote areas of Orissa to carry out the operation.
Out of thousands of technical research papers submitted for the prestigious ICIT (International Conference on Industrial Technology) 2006 held at IIT Mumbai from Dec 15-17, our paper was selected among the best 150 research papers to be accepted for the same.
We were afraid at that time as we were just B.Tech graduates and will be competing with the tech wagons across the globe for acceptance of the paper for the conference. Due to God’s grace and the well wishes of the poor people, we proved that its a concrete feasible idea that rules. We are proud to share that our paper was categorized in Cat ORAL-X (contained the top 30-35 best papers).

However you may not be able to view the research paper as it requires authenticity, so I have attached the copy of the same in this mail to have a look. The success could not have been achieved without my mates Bikas Kar(sasken) and Bishnu Bhatt(TCS) and of course yes our guide and torch bearer Hemant Arjun patil, who stand with us even when our department showed red signal for the same. I still remember the kick-off moment of the project when there was a departmental collision that was about to collapse our aim, still then “whenever there is a will, there is a way” repeated and yes history has been created with Oriya language research.
A guide, a teacher and a torch bearer who broke the rules of the educational department to help us prove ourself is really admirable. My heartiest thanks and wishes to all those poor people of remote part of Orissa, who have helped the world to advance in technology even when they are still in the uncivilized age. I recall we were been to such places where people were far from electricity and awareness, but extended their generous support to make a better world for people who are in information age. Innovation never comes alone or demands your aptitude alone, what it demands is your vision and concreteness in it. Thanks again to all the well wishers and supporters who have helped us in achieving such an accolade.
