A new study in Canada found that breast imaging reports generated with automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems have a higher error rate compared to conventional dictation transcription. At least one major error was found in 23% of ASR reports, while 4% of conventional reports contained errors affecting patient management.
Researchers developed a hybrid approach combining bionic wavelet transform and recurrent neural network for improved speech enhancement. The method showed significant noise reduction without compromising intelligibility, achieving a 12 dB increase in signal-to-noise ratio.
Researchers are working to improve automatic speech recognition technology, aiming for a word-error rate of no more than 10 percent. A new multi-language audio database will be developed using publicly available sources like YouTube, featuring hundreds of speakers in English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese.
A recent study found significantly higher transcription error rates in women compared to men, with error rates ranging from 0.015 to 0.206 in females and 0.025 to 0.139 in males. The results suggest that women may need to spend more time training on commercial speech recognition systems to achieve accurate results.
Researchers at the University of East Anglia are developing computerized lip-reading systems that can automatically convert video lip-motions into text. The three-year project aims to improve the accuracy of lip-reading, a skill that can be unreliable even for trained experts.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University are developing mathematical models to represent the safest and most effective ways to perform surgery. By analyzing data from robotic medical tools, they aim to evaluate a surgeon's work and help doctors improve their skills. The goal is also to enable robotic surgical tools to perform with gre...
The next generation of speech recognizers will go beyond conversion to text, using information detectors that provide a machine with digestible information. Researchers are working on new mathematical algorithms and paradigms to tackle the broader problem of human-to-machine and machine-to-human speech.
UCSD researchers have developed a new estimator that outperforms the historic Good-Turing formula under all conditions. The new estimator, called attenuation, evaluates the highest possible ratio between the probability assigned to each symbol in a sequence by any distribution and the corresponding probability assigned by the estimator.
