Term Discovery Evaluation

Keywords: NLP - Speech recognition - Speech

Scientific Description: This toolbox allows the user to judge of the quality of a word discovery algorithm. It evaluates the algorithms on these criteria : - Boundary : efficiency of the algorithm to found the actual boundaries of the words - Group : efficiency of the algorithm to group similar words - Token/Type: efficiency of the algorithm to find all words from the corpus (types), and to find all occurences (token) of these words. - NED : Mean of the edit distance across all the word pairs found by the algorithm - Coverage : efficiency of the algorithm to find every discoverable phone in the corpus

Functional Description: Toolbox to evaluate algorithms that segment speech into words. It allows the user to evaluate the efficiency of algorithms to segment speech into words, and create clusters of similar words.
