> Uh, movie subtitles?
Movie subtitles are very rarely actual transcriptions of what is spoken; they are instead summaries, edited for brevity and quick comprehension.
I don't know much about what kind of corpora is required for training this kind of model, but subtitles don't seem appropriate.
- taneq 11y agoIs that necessarily a bad thing? Maybe if you're transcribing text for dictation, but for many voice recognition uses, you would be happy with text conveying the semantic content of the spoken text.
- amake 11y agoThis is really not my field, but my suspicion is It Just Doesn't Work Like That.
- taneq 11y agoNot my field either, but I wouldn't have thought that mere word proximity would lead to something as interesting as word embeddings either, and they seem to be a general purpose "input token -> semantic meaning" mapping, so who knows? (Seriously, if someone does know, tell!)
- oergiR 11y agoTo train a speech recogniser on subtitles, you need to be careful to allow for words missing from the transcriptions. But it has been done: goo.gl/Syx27j
- wibr 11y agoIn Mandarin they are 99% exact transcriptions.
