Open ASR Leaderboard Adds Private Datasets
Hugging Face Bloghigh confidence
Why it matters
- →Incorporating private datasets reduces the risk of benchmaxxing, leading to more reliable ASR evaluations.
- →The update allows for a more comprehensive assessment of ASR models across diverse accents and speech types.
- →It balances the need for openness with the necessity of robust, real-world performance metrics.
The Open ASR Leaderboard has introduced private datasets from Appen Inc. and DataoceanAI to enhance its benchmarking process. These datasets, which include a variety of accents and speech types, are intended to prevent benchmaxxing and improve the accuracy of ASR performance evaluations. The leaderboard's average Word Error Rate (WER) will continue to be calculated using public datasets by default, but users can choose to include private datasets for a more detailed analysis. This update aims to provide a more nuanced view of ASR model performance across different conditions.
