Word Error Rate Estimation for Speech Recognition: e-WER (P18-2)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems require manual transcription of test data to compute the word error rate (WER). |
| Approach: | They propose an approach to estimate word error rate (e-WER) that does not require a gold-standard transcription of the test set. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach achieves 16.9% WER root mean squared error across 1,400 sentences. |
