This paper describes ICSI's 2005 speaker recognition system, which was one of the top performing systems in the NIST 2005 speaker recognition evaluation. The system is a combination of four sub-systems: 1) a keyword conditional HMM system, 2) an SVM-based lattice phone n-gram system, 3) a sequential nonparametric system, and 4) a traditional cepstral GMM System, developed by SRI. The first three systems are designed to take advantage of higher-level and long-term information. We observe that their performance is significantly improved when there is more training data. In this paper, we describe these sub-systems and present results for each system alone and in combination on the speaker recognition evaluation (SRE) 2005 development and evaluation data sets
