We explain them each below. ### Word Error Rate (WER) Word Error Rate is used to measure the accuracy of automatic speech recognition systems. It calculates the percentage of words in the system's output that differ from the reference (correct) transcript. A lower WER value indicates higher accuracy. ``` Example: If the reference transcript is "I really love cats," and the ASR system outputs "I don't love dogs,". The WER would be `50%` because 2 out of 4 words are incorrect. ``` For a fair comparison, we calculate zero-shot (i.e. pre-trained models only) normalised WER for all the model checkpoints. You can find the evaluation code on our [Github repository](https://github.com/huggingface/open_asr_leaderboard). To read more about how the WER is computed, refer to the [Audio Transformers Course](https://huggingface.co/learn/audio-course/chapter5/evaluation). ### Real Time Factor (RTF) Real Time Factor is a measure of the latency of automatic speech recognition systems, i.e. how long it takes an model to process a given amount of speech. It's usually expressed as a multiple of real time. An RTF of 1 means it processes speech as fast as it's spoken, while an RTF of 2 means it takes twice as long. Thus, a lower RTF value indicates lower latency. ``` Example: If it takes an ASR system 10 seconds to transcribe 10 seconds of speech, the RTF is 1. If it takes 20 seconds to transcribe the same 10 seconds of speech, the RTF is 2. ``` For the benchmark, we report RTF averaged over a 10 minute audio sample with 5 warm up batches followed 3 graded batches. ## How to reproduce our results The ASR Leaderboard will be a continued effort to benchmark open source/access speech recognition models where possible. Along with the Leaderboard we're open-sourcing the codebase used for running these evaluations. For more details head over to our repo at: https://github.com/huggingface/open_asr_leaderboard P.S. We'd love to know which other models you'd like us to benchmark next. Contributions are more than welcome! ♥️ ## Benchmark datasets Evaluating Speech Recognition systems is a hard problem. We use the multi-dataset benchmarking strategy proposed in the [ESB paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.13352) to obtain robust evaluation scores for each model. ESB is a benchmark for evaluating the performance of a single automatic speech recognition (ASR) system across a broad set of speech datasets. It comprises eight English speech recognition datasets, capturing a broad range of domains, acoustic conditions, speaker styles, and transcription requirements. As such, it gives a better indication of how a model is likely to perform on downstream ASR compared to evaluating it on one dataset alone. The ESB score is calculated as a macro-average of the WER scores across the ESB datasets. The models in the leaderboard are ranked based on their average WER scores, from lowest to highest. | Dataset | Domain | Speaking Style | Train (h) | Dev (h) | Test (h) | Transcriptions | License | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------|-----------|---------|----------|--------------------|-----------------| | [LibriSpeech](https://huggingface.co/datasets/librispeech_asr) | Audiobook | Narrated | 960 | 11 | 11 | Normalised | CC-BY-4.0 | | [Common Voice 9](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mozilla-foundation/common_voice_9_0) | Wikipedia | Narrated | 1409 | 27 | 27 | Punctuated & Cased | CC0-1.0 | | [VoxPopuli](https://huggingface.co/datasets/facebook/voxpopuli) | European Parliament | Oratory | 523 | 5 | 5 | Punctuated | CC0 | | [TED-LIUM](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LIUM/tedlium) | TED talks | Oratory | 454 | 2 | 3 | Normalised | CC-BY-NC-ND 3.0 | | [GigaSpeech](https://huggingface.co/datasets/speechcolab/gigaspeech) | Audiobook, podcast, YouTube | Narrated, spontaneous | 2500 | 12 | 40 | Punctuated | apache-2.0 | | [SPGISpeech](https://huggingface.co/datasets/kensho/spgispeech) | Fincancial meetings | Oratory, spontaneous | 4900 | 100 | 100 | Punctuated & Cased | User Agreement | | [Earnings-22](https://huggingface.co/datasets/revdotcom/earnings22) | Fincancial meetings | Oratory, spontaneous | 105 | 5 | 5 | Punctuated & Cased | CC-BY-SA-4.0 | | [AMI](https://huggingface.co/datasets/edinburghcstr/ami) | Meetings | Spontaneous | 78 | 9 | 9 | Punctuated & Cased | CC-BY-4.0 | For more details on the individual datasets and how models are evaluated to give the ESB score, refer to the [ESB paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.13352). """ CUSTOM_MESSAGE = """## Legend: This space is a fork of the original [hf-audio/open_asr_leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/hf-audio/open_asr_leaderboard). It aims to demonstrate how the CommonVoice Test Set provides a relatively accurate approximation of the average WER/CER (Word Error Rate/Character Error Rate) at a significantly lower computational cost. #### Why is this useful? This opens way the to achieve standardized test set for most languages, enabling us to programmatically select a reasonably effective model for any language supported by CommonVoice. Columns `Model`, `RTF`, and `Average WER` were sourced from [hf-audio/open_asr_leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/hf-audio/open_asr_leaderboard) using the version from September 7, 2023. Models are sorted by consistancy in there results across testset. (by increasing order of absolute delta between average WER and CommonVoice WER) ### Results The CommonVoice Test provides a Word Error Rate (WER) within a 20-point margin of the average WER. While not perfect, this indicates that CommonVoice can be a useful tool for quickly identifying a suitable ASR model for a wide range of languages in a programmatic manner. However, it's important to note that it is not sufficient as the sole criterion for choosing the most appropriate architecture. Further considerations may be needed depending on the specific requirements of your ASR application. """
