Abstract

The performance of end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems enables their increasing integration into numerous applications. While there are various benefits to such speech-to-text systems, the choice of hyperparameters and models plays a crucial role in their performance. Typically, these choices are determined by considering only the character (CER) and/or word error rate (WER) metrics. However, it has been shown in several studies that these metrics are largely incomplete and fail to adequately describe the downstream application of automatic transcripts. In this paper, we conduct a qualitative study on the French language that investigates the impact of subword tokenization algorithms and self-supervised learning models from different linguistic and acoustic perspectives, using a comprehensive set of evaluation metrics.

Abstract-only analysis — low confidence

All signals on this page are inferred from the abstract only and may be inaccurate. Do not use this page as a primary protocol reference.

  • This paper looks adjacent to evaluation work, but not like a strong protocol reference.
  • The available metadata is too thin to trust this as a primary source.
