    Hello,
    I created a power point of slides as a simple introduction to speech
    recognition with an emphasis on working practically with Sphinx4. Would anyone
    from the dev team be interested in evaluating the powerpoint? With some
    refining it could be a good resource for the website.

    Thanks,
    Heather

    I uploaded the slides here:

    Any feedback esp. corrections if you notice mistakes would be fantastic. Also
    if anyone would like to flesh out a section or two with more details I am
    happy to collaborate:)

    Thanks!

    Can we put this on our website or it's better to link it?

     
  • Heather Dewey-Hagborg

    Probably better to post it up online locally than link to it on my site since
    I might move it someday without thinking!

    Great job Heather! It took me a while to figure out that a lot of the
    information is in the slide notes section but I think this is a nice concise
    introduction to ASR/Sphinx 4. Among other things I found these slides do a
    good job at describing the different elements of the system and their variants
    (particularly the linguists). ... Also, slide 50 on expected performance
    should be a very useful guideline/rule of thumb for new comers (s a side note,
    it's probably just me being anal but I would only use one digit after the
    fractional point). Again thanks for sharing these slides.

    Thanks for the feedback!
    I know putting so much info in the appendix is a little funny, but in actually
    giving the presentation I found I didn't want to go through slide after slide
    of configuration parameters for example. I am open to other ideas on the
    subject:)

    Actually I meant that you put the key content (what you would say if you were
    giving the presentation) in the notes section (under the slide in standard PPT
    layout). This is perfectly fine, just need to be aware of it.
    Also, for the appendices, again the summary of the main parameters in one
    place is pretty useful, and you were right to put that outside the main
    presentation. All in all, these slides are a good companion to your references
    (white paper, Jurafsky & Martin...).
