We are pleased to inform you that YSU, in cooperation with NVIDIA branch in Yerevan, has launched a challenge lasting from February 1 to 21 to expand the "Armenian speech-to-text" open database. It is aimed to find volunteers to record speech for an improvement of open-source Automatic Speech Recognition system in Armenian.
By participating in this initiative, each student contributes his/her speech to improve conversational AI (artificial intelligence) by spending just 5 minutes a day. To participate it is necessary:
1) register on the Common Voice website,
2) perform online recording and validation tasks in Armenian,
3) share your dashboard statistics by February 21 at 23:59 a.m.
Results of the competition will be concluded one week after the deadline and a meeting will be organized with the participants.
The best contributors will be awarded with memorable NVIDIA gifts. The contributor score is counted as follows:
2*(number of recorded sentences) + (number of validated sentences)
Detailed information on how the tasks should be completed can be found in the video.
