Morphology
The meaning 'the identification of a speaker' is directly and compositionally derived from 'speaker' (the person who speaks) + 'identification' (the act of recognizing identity). Although it is a technical term used in speech processing, the combination follows a common and cross-linguistically familiar noun + noun composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand the phrase.
Etymology
Speaker identification comes from the simple idea of naming the speaker, the person who talks, by their voice, with identification meaning proving who they are. So it means 'to identify a person by the sound of their voice'.
