Meeting Description: 

NIST and IARPA are pleased to announce a new Automatic Speech Recognition
Challenge and Workshop, OpenASR, open to international participation. This new
challenge was created out of the IARPA MATERIAL Program, which encompasses
more NLP tasks including CLIR (cross-language information retrieval), machine
translation, domain classification, and cross-language summarization. To
kickstart work in this new challenge, NIST will distribute ASR training sets
for a variety of lower resourced languages to be evaluated under both
constrained and unconstrained conditions. The final evaluation will be
scheduled for November. Please save the date for registration in mid July.

Program Information: 

The first OpenASR Challenge associated with MATERIAL, OpenASR20, is scheduled
to open for registration in July 2020, with an evaluation period in November
2020. It will feature ASR evaluation opportunities for ten low-resource
languages.

It will be implemented as a track of NIST’s OpenSAT (Open Speech Analytic
Technologies) evaluation series, using the OpenSAT web server for
registration, data access, submission, and scoring purposes.

Please check our website soon for an evaluation plan, schedule, and
registration instructions.
