Facebook released a pretty impressive SOTA system with public data sources a few weeks ago
- triztian 7y agoWhat does "SOTA" mean in this context; all I could find is "Software Over the Air" but I'm unsure of what it means in a Speech to Text context
- probably_wrong 7y agoIt means "State of the art", which would be roughly equivalent to "as good a result as its currently possible"
- wodenokoto 7y ago“State of the art”. But I think your original question is still great: What does state of the art mean in this context?
- nmfisher 7y agoAre you talking about wav2letter@anywhere? If so, I haven't dug deeply yet, but I suspect the author's point stands - inference-time efficiency is one thing, but training compute (and separately, data-efficiency) is another. I don't think the author is necessarily criticizing anyone, and I don't think he/she is saying that these tools/models/papers/etc aren't welcome. My read is that "pushing STT beyond the FAANG use-case means we should stop confining ourselves to FAANG-scale data and models".
