Incorrect/inconsistent documentation for ASR #1

Open mvalstar opened 6 years ago

mvalstar commented 6 years ago

Will there be any documentation for ASR on the Wiki?

That would be a valid question from a user ;)

pirelaurent commented 6 years ago

Around this subject ASR , i saw that the wiki installation part is not up to date regarding the readme.md of the repo ARIA-System. for exampIe, i was a bit confused searching Alice.bat ... Even there, more accurate info on ASR are in readme.md of the /ASR directory. Especially around launching ASR in a windows-linux.

FYI : Notice that by default, the launch is prepared for a gpu. Must set gpu = 0 in launch-asr.sh on a simple machine. FMI : wiki doc says that french is not available, but the install shows french packages . Where is the truth ?

Hi Eduardo,

We have our first external user! Hooray. Thank you Pierre Laurent.

Unfortunately Pierre has found some inconsistencies in the installation wiki - probably mainly differences between AVP 2.0 and 3.0. Would you have some time to clean this up?

Cheers,

Michel

@eadward do you think there's someone in Björn's team who could have a look at this?

Alice.bat is not related to the ASR server ...

Even there, more accurate info on ASR are in readme.md of the /ASR directory. Especially around launching ASR in a windows-linux.

This is the exact same text as in the WIKI. The only difference is that installation and usage instructions are separated in the WIKI.

FYI : Notice that by default, the launch is prepared for a gpu. Must set gpu = 0 in launch-asr.sh on a simple machine.

This can be easily changed by the user. We opted for having GPU as default because it is the best option (can be very slow without a GPU).

FMI : wiki doc says that french is not available, but the install shows french packages . Where is the truth ?

This was corrected. There are models for French.

I also did some improvements to the ASR server parameters descriptions and added a more adequate sidebar to the WIKI. It was very hard to find the relevant information without it.

@mvalstar : do you think that it is useful to add our estimated WER for the various languages to the WIKI? It could give an idea to the users of what they can expect.
