Description acceptable. Funding for research into this task was drastically cut after a 1969 letter by J. R. Pierce titled “Whither [this task]?” By removing an assumption of independence, LAS improved over previous CTC models performing this task. The Mel filter was developed for this task. W·E·R is used to evaluate results of this task. (15[1])This process often starts with windowing a certain signal, (15[1])and taking its (*) spectrogram, before inputting that into a neural network. CMU Sphinx provides a library for this (-5[1])task, (10[1])as does OpenAI’s Whisper. (10[1])James (10[2])and Janet Baker used HMMs on a trigram model to perform this process (-5[1])for Dragon Systems, which struggled with segmentation (10[1])of certain entities. (10[1])Siri and Alexa perform, for 10 points, what task of processing an auditory signal into a string? ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
