The key word is “recognition”, not comprehension. Humans do much better with a higher error rate since they can fill in gaps through comprehension and context.

- helsinkiandrew 6y agoBut aren't these results saying that "AI" outperforms humans in recognition (converting to text) - even if humans can use comprehension to improve their recognition? Humans can cope with errors in transcription/recognition by using their comprehension
- dlkf 6y agoThis should be the top rated comment. Moreover, once you unpack the definition of "recognition," you see that it's largely an artificial exercise. A 0.5% improvement over a human baseline is not particularly meaningful, because we're measuring a pointless task that the humans weren't optimized for in the first place.
