Introducing FFASR Leaderboard with Hugging Face

Sign up

In this session, Eric Bezzam from Hugging Face will introduce the leaderboard, walk through its structure, and demonstrate how it can be used to evaluate and compare models under more realistic acoustic conditions.

Treble will then take you behind the scenes, exploring the data that powers the leaderboard and the levels of acoustic complexity required to move from controlled datasets to real world performance. If you are building or evaluating speech and audio systems, this session will give you a clearer view of what current benchmarks miss and how that is changing.

Go Beyond Near Field Data

Join us on June 11th for the launch of the Far Field ASR Leaderboard (FFASR) on Hugging Face, a new benchmark designed to move audio AI evaluation beyond near field assumptions.

On the agenda for this Webinar:

1. Hugging Face: Introducing the Far Field ASR Leaderboard (FFASR)

Eric Bezzam presents the leaderboard, including its structure, key features, and how it can be used to evaluate and compare ASR models under more realistic conditions.

2. Treble: Why Far Field Data Matters

An inside look at the data powering FFASR and why far field audio is critical for building and evaluating robust audio AI systems. We will cover how this data is created and the level of acoustic complexity required to reflect real world performance.

3. Q&A

Warner Theatre Rehearsal Hall - Acentech Case Study

This study helped to refine Acentech's understanding of the performance of the ceiling system, which absorbs sound quite effectively at most frequencies, and contributes valuable reflections for ensemble intelligibility. Treble helped Acentech to translate between measurements of room decay times and up-close mockup measurements to create a coherent analysis and understanding.
