Houston we have a Divergence: A Subgroup Performance Analysis of ASR Models

arXiv:2404.07226v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: The Fearless Steps APOLLO Community Resource provides unparalleled opportunities to explore the potential of multi-speaker team communications from NASA Apollo missions. This study focuses on discovering the characteristics that make Apollo recordings more or less intelligible to Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) methods. We extract, for each audio recording, interpretable metadata on recordings (signal-to-noise ratio, spectral flatness, presence of pauses, sentence duration), transcript (number of words spoken, speaking rate), or known a priori (speaker). We identify …
