First, please read and agree to the following rules before participating
You should only register for the challenge if you actually plan to submit an entry to the challenge
Build an ASR that is suitable for recognizing Taiwanese Speech (reading speech).
Character error rate (CER)
This challenge is based on the NTUT-TAT-Vol1 corpus collected across Taiwan in 2019.
NTUT-TAT-Vol1 is reading speech and consists 100 speakers, in total about 50 hours (training, evaluation and test sets).
Listening to the evaluation test data, or any other human interaction with the test data, is not allowed.
Participants should return both the recognition hypotheses (unit sequences) and the corresponding likelihoods of every units in the hypotheses.
The output hypotheses should only be UTF-8 encoded characters.
Participants need to complete a form giving the general technical specification of their developed speech recognition system to facilitate easy cross-system comparisons (e.g. is it a DNN-based system? what features and training procedures are adopted? etc.).
Each participant needs to submit a paper (4-6 pages, double column) and is expected to present their works at "2020 語音訊號處理研討會Speech Signal Processing Workshop 2021" （時間待定）.
You are allowed to use external data in any way you wish, subject to any exclusions given in these rules and clear descriptions/statements are provided about what and how external databases are adopted (for cross-system comparisons).
Any recognition hypotheses that you submit for evaluation will be retained by the FSR Challenge organizers for future use.
You must include in your submission a statement of whether you give the organizers permission to publicly distribute your results in anonymized form. We really appreciate if all participants approve this consent agreement!
This is a challenge, which is designed to answer scientific questions, and not a competition. Therefore, we rely on your honesty in preparing your entry.
If you have any doubt about how to apply these rules, please contact the organizers (yfliao@mail.ntut.edu.tw) immediately.
