Except that:
>We're aware it's likely that if you're reading out a long string of digits like this, you're likely to slip up or say a wrong digit. Mistakes are a very human feature, but as long as you correct it and carry on, they're fine - we just need evidence of humans having said the whole prime, not necessarily in one go. You can watch your video back through before submitting to check it's ok. If you want to edit together multiple clips to make your video, that's also fine!
So they need the some degree of semantic understanding to recognize corrections, in the various forms they can take. Speech to text alone is insufficient.
- HappMacDonald 2y agoBut errors would be rare enough that a single sufficiently OCD soul (or a handful if you wanted error correction of last verification step) could look over the transcripts and diff them against the text of the prime and ensure that every digit in the prime is part of a large sequence of digits read out by the people.
- withinboredom 2y agoYou don’t need semantics. Just what is expected. If it deviates and returns to what is expected, it is a success. If it deviates and doesn’t return, it is incorrect. The assertion is that all the digits are said, not that all the digits are said flawlessly.
- eurleif 2y agoSuppose the digit sequence is: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5". Someone says: "9, 2, 3 -- wait, the digit a few places back was a 1, not a 9 -- 4, 5". The pattern /^.*1.*2.*3.*4.*5.*$/ doesn't match; they didn't "deviate and return" in the way you seem to be implying; yet they've expressed the correction in a reasonable way that a human would understand.
- withinboredom 2y agoDepends on how you write the algorithm. As you mentioned, a regex won't work, but "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" is spoken in the clip.
