Purpose
Catalyzed by the release of Whisper, multiple LAMs are actively investigating and implementing speech-to-text pipelines to caption and/or transcribe their audio-visual content. This call will explore establishing a working group within the ai4lam community in order to share needs and approaches, facilitate the dissemination of know how, foster collaborations, and share data, models, and/or software.
The meeting will be recorded. If you are interested and unable to attend, please add your name, institution, and email to the Regrets section of the agenda doc.
