9:00 AM – 12:00 PM – STKU4 – Performing a Comparative ASR Evaluation- Dan Burnett, Director of Speech Technologies
There are a variety of choices for speech recognition engines, especially for languages other than English.

In this handson, in-depth course you will learn how to select an appropriate evaluation data set, why transcription is important and how to do it properly, how to perform the evaluation, and how to analyze and interpret the results.
