| Here you will find details about the speech recognition metrics and datasets reported in our leaderboard. | |
| ## Metrics | |
| Models are evaluated jointly using the Word Error Rate (WER) and Inverse Real Time Factor (RTFx) metrics. The WER metric | |
| is used to assess the accuracy of a system, and the RTFx the inference speed. Models are ranked in the leaderboard based | |
| on their WER, lowest to highest. | |
| Crucially, the WER and RTFx values are computed for the same inference run using a single script. The implication of this is two-fold: | |
| 1. The WER and RTFx values are coupled: for a given WER, one can expect to achieve the corresponding RTFx. This allows the proposer to trade-off lower WER for higher RTFx should they wish. | |
| 2. The WER and RTFx values are averaged over all audios in the benchmark (in the order of thousands of audios). | |
| For details on reproducing the benchmark numbers, refer to the [Open ASR GitHub repository](https://github.com/huggingface/open_asr_leaderboard#evaluate-a-model). | |
| ### Word Error Rate (WER) | |
| Word Error Rate is used to measure the **accuracy** of automatic speech recognition systems. It calculates the percentage | |
| of words in the system's output that differ from the reference (correct) transcript. **A lower WER value indicates higher accuracy**. | |
| Take the following example: | |
| | Reference: | the | cat | sat | on | the | mat | | |
| |-------------|-----|-----|---------|-----|-----|-----| | |
| | Prediction: | the | cat | **sit** | on | the | | | | |
| | Label: | ✅ | ✅ | S | ✅ | ✅ | D | | |
| Here, we have: | |
| * 1 substitution ("sit" instead of "sat") | |
| * 0 insertions | |
| * 1 deletion ("mat" is missing) | |
| This gives 2 errors in total. To get our word error rate, we divide the total number of errors (substitutions + insertions + deletions) by the total number of words in our | |
| reference (N), which for this example is 6: | |
| ``` | |
| WER = (S + I + D) / N = (1 + 0 + 1) / 6 = 0.333 | |
| ``` | |
| Giving a WER of 0.33, or 33%. For a fair comparison, we calculate **zero-shot** (i.e. pre-trained models only) *normalised WER* for all the model checkpoints, meaning punctuation and casing is removed from the references and predictions. You can find the evaluation code on our [Github repository](https://github.com/huggingface/open_asr_leaderboard). To read more about how the WER is computed, refer to the [Audio Transformers Course](https://huggingface.co/learn/audio-course/chapter5/evaluation). | |
| ### Inverse Real Time Factor (RTFx) | |
| Inverse Real Time Factor is a measure of the **latency** of automatic speech recognition systems, i.e. how long it takes an | |
| model to process a given amount of speech. It is defined as: | |
| ``` | |
| RTFx = (number of seconds of audio inferred) / (compute time in seconds) | |
| ``` | |
| Therefore, and RTFx of 1 means a system processes speech as fast as it's spoken, while an RTFx of 2 means it takes half the time. | |
| Thus, **a higher RTFx value indicates lower latency**. | |
| ## How to reproduce our results | |
| The ASR Leaderboard will be a continued effort to benchmark open source/access speech recognition models where possible. | |
| Along with the Leaderboard we're open-sourcing the codebase used for running these evaluations. | |
| For more details head over to our repo at: https://github.com/huggingface/open_asr_leaderboard | |
| P.S. We'd love to know which other models you'd like us to benchmark next. Contributions are more than welcome! ♥️ | |
| ## Benchmark datasets | |
| Evaluating Speech Recognition systems is a hard problem. We use the multi-dataset benchmarking strategy proposed in the | |
| [ESB paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.13352) to obtain robust evaluation scores for each model. | |
| ESB is a benchmark for evaluating the performance of a single automatic speech recognition (ASR) system across a broad | |
| set of speech datasets. It comprises eight English speech recognition datasets, capturing a broad range of domains, | |
| acoustic conditions, speaker styles, and transcription requirements. As such, it gives a better indication of how | |
| a model is likely to perform on downstream ASR compared to evaluating it on one dataset alone. | |
| The ESB score is calculated as a macro-average of the WER scores across the ESB datasets. The models in the leaderboard | |
| are ranked based on their average WER scores, from lowest to highest. | |
