• Single/multi-channel speech enhancement (e.g. dereverberation, noise suppression) for speaker recognition
• Single/multi-channel speaker recognition
• End-to-end integration of speech enhancement and speaker recognition
• Domain adaptation for far-field speaker recognition
• Calibration of speaker recognition in far-field conditions

Prospective authors should adhere to the Speaker Odyssey 2020 paper submission guidelines and schedule.
