English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

Performance metrics were word accuracy (WAcc) and simple word overlap (SWO). WAcc is the complement of the standard ASR [Automatic Speech Recognition] metric of word error rate (WER). (WAcc = 1 - WER).

CONT

The most commonly used measure for speech recognisers is word accuracy (WA).

OBS

word accuracy; WAcc; WA : designations validated by Canadian subject-field experts from Concordia University, Dalhousie University, Laval University and Microsoft Canada.

[...] le nombre de mots [...] déterminés correctement, le nombre de substitutions, [...] le nombre d'insertions [...] et le nombre de suppressions [...] peuvent être reliés au nombre total de mots dans la [transcription de] référence, [...] ce qui donne deux autres mesures de la qualité de reconnaissance, à savoir le taux d'erreurs sur les mots (WER, word error rate) et l'exactitude des mots (WA, word accuracy) [...]

Con el fin de aumentar la precisión del reconocimiento del habla, se pretende prestar especial atención a la mejora del modelo de lenguaje (español y portugués). [...] Al final de cada fase se obtendrá la tasa de reconocimiento de palabras y se analizarán los resultados con el objetivo de detectar las principales causas de errores de reconocimiento de palabras, así como para medir el desempeño de nuestro sistema en diferentes especialidades.

CONT

[...] en el caso de los sistemas de reconocimiento, las diferencias entre distintas voces tienen efectos negativos en la tasa de aciertos. En la figura se ilustra este hecho y se muestran las distintas tasas de error de palabra (TEP) y de acierto de palabra (TAP), para diez locutores distintos, del reconocedor del sistema conversacional ATOS.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

Speech recognition typically involves a signal processing stage in which a plurality of word string hypotheses, i.e., possible word sequences, are proposed for the input signal. The task is then to recognize or identify the "best" word string from a set of hypotheses, i.e., proposed word strings consistent with the input signal. Speech recognition systems utilize a language model for such a purpose.

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

A potentially more accurate metric of ASR [automatic speech recognition] performance is word error rate (WER). The WER between a particular transcription and the correct transcription, y*, may be defined as the number of edits (substitutions, deletions or insertions) needed to change the particular transcription into y* divided by the number of words in y*.

OBS

word error rate; WER : designations validated by Canadian subject-field experts from Concordia University, Dalhousie University, Laval University and Microsoft Canada.

International English is the concept of the English language as a global means of communication in numerous dialects, and the movement towards an international standard for the language. It is sometimes referred to as Global English, World English or Standard English. Sometimes these terms refer simply to the array of varieties of English spoken throughout the world; sometimes they refer to a desired standardisation. Howerver, consensus on the terminology and path to standardisation has not been reached.

CONT

Microsoft is partnering publishers in the US, UK and Austr alia in a large-scale new project to publish the world's first dictionary of English, based on a single database of "world English" under the title Encarta World English Dictionary. Some 250 lexicographers form 10 countries compiled a three-million-word text that reflects the use of English as "the language of the world". Anne Soukhanov, currently Word Watch columnist for the Atlantic Monthly, claims that "World English is the communication medium of the 21st century".

L'expression «anglais international» peut être comprise comme une abréviation de «anglais langue internationale» (ALI). Ce dernier terme est plus lourd, mais plus précis, car il insiste sur l'usage international de l'anglais au lieu de sous-entendre, à tort, qu'il existe une variété bien définie qui s'appellerait «anglais international».
