Ok what's turn detection?
- ry167 2y agoDetecting when one user of a conversation has finished talking. It’s a big deal for detecting human speech when interacting with LLM systems
- kwindla 2y agoTurn detection is deciding when a person has finished talking and expects the other party in a conversation to respond. In this case, the other party in the conversation is an LLM!
- remram 2y agoOh I see. Not like segmenting a conversation where people speak in turn. Thanks.
- whiddershins 2y agohuh. how is analyzing conversations in the manner you described NOT the way to train such a model?
- remram 2y agoDid you reply to the wrong comment? No one is taking about training here.
- password4321 2y agoSpeaker diarization is also still a tough problem for free models.
- woodson 2y agoIt’s often called endpoint detection (in ASR).
- lelag 2y agoYes, weird that they didn't use that term for this project.
- kwindla 2y agoI've talked about this a lot with friends. Endpoint detection (and phrase endpointing, and end of utterance) are terms from the academic literature about this, and related, problems. Very few people who are doing "AI Engineering" or even "Machine Learning" today know these terms. In the past, I argued that we should use the existing academic language rather than invent new terms. But then OpenAI released the Realtime API and called this "turn detection" in their docs. And that was that. It no longer made sense to use any other verbiage.
- lelag 2y agoThank for the explanation. I guess it makes some sense, considering many people with no nlp background are using those models now…
- mncharity 2y agoRe SEO, I note "utterance" only occurs once, in a perhaps-ephemeral "Things to do" description. To help with "what is?" and SEO, perhaps something like "Turn detection (aka [...], end of utterance)"... ?
