| Challenge: | Existing work on contextual speech recognition (ASR) systems focuses on recognizing words that are not frequently seen in training data, such as rare words, but word error rate on rare words remains over 20%. |
| Approach: | They propose to use public-domain earnings calls and supplementary materials to evaluate contextual ASR approaches grounded on real-world applications. |
| Outcome: | The proposed frameworks are noisier than artificially synthesized contexts that contain the ground truth, yet still make great room for future improvement of contextual ASR technology. |
