Spoken SQuAD: A Study of Mitigating the Impact of Speech Recognition Errors on Listening Comprehension
Table 1: Three testing sets with different levels of WER.
['[BOLD] Testing Set', '[BOLD] No noise', '[BOLD] Noise V1', '[BOLD] Noise V2']
To test the comprehension ability of machine in real life scenario under worse audio quality, we further added two different levels of white noise into the audio files of testing set to obtain different WERs. The synthesized speech makes the task easier than its real application, but in the following experiments, we found that the comprehension capability already seriously degraded in the above scenario. We leave the study on real speech recording as the future work.
