Crowdsourcing for Speech Processing

Beschreibung

The concept of crowdsourcing is based on the observation that if a crowd of non-experts is asked an opinion, the aggregation of their individual opinions will be very close to the true value. Tasks such as collecting speech, labelling it, assessing systems and carrying out studies on the speech data are natural candidates for crowdsourcing. This book is a detailed and hands-on comprehensive reference for those who want to use crowdsourcing for speech applications. From the reader who has already used crowdsourcing and wants to refine their methods to the novice who has never used this technique before; this book will provide a practical introduction to crowdsourcing as a means of rapidly processing speech data with contributions from leading researchers in the field. * Informs readers about how to collect and label speech using crowdsourcing; how to assess speech applications and run perception studies using crowdsourcing. * Explains to readers about how to choose crowdsourcing platforms. * Considers the ethical and legal implications of performing crowdsourcing for speech processing. * Includes numerous real-life examples of how to implement crowdsourcing for various types of speech processing. * Offers several options for each type of task enabling readers to choose which option best fits their individual needs. * Provides an extensive overview of the literature on crowdsourcing for speech processing.
Provides an insightful and practical introduction to crowdsourcing as a means of rapidly processing speech data Intended for those who want to get started in the domain and learn how to set up a task, what interfaces are available, how to assess the work, etc. as well as for those who already have used crowdsourcing and want to create better tasks and obtain better assessments of the work of the crowd. It will include screenshots to show examples of good and poor interfaces; examples of case studies in speech processing tasks, going through the task creation process, reviewing options in the interface, in the choice of medium (MTurk or other) and explaining choices, etc. * Provides an insightful and practical introduction to crowdsourcing as a means of rapidly processing speech data. * Addresses important aspects of this new technique that should be mastered before attempting a crowdsourcing application. * Offers speech researchers the hope that they can spend much less time dealing with the data gathering/annotation bottleneck, leaving them to focus on the scientific issues. * Readers will directly benefit from the book's successful examples of how crowd- sourcing was implemented for speech processing, discussions of interface and processing choices that worked and choices that didn't, and guidelines on how to play and record speech over the internet, how to design tasks, and how to assess workers. Essential reading for researchers and practitioners in speech research groups involved in speech processing
