Moved much of this to Drafts instead
phonbank: poor articulation
disfluent kids
late talkers
Write a review about ASR benchmark methods
REV would be our benchmark What corpora we use? Has anyone used disordered speech? Or really seriously accented speech vis a vi CORALL (how was CORALL sampled?) What samples? How do we sample? What are the benchmarks? ASR model + WER
tildes and noprompt swapped
WER
missing words
correct alignment
things swap noprompt backwards apostrophies for quotes the word separation error put tilde BETWEEN specific symbols with connection symbols jemoka becomes batchalign 2 Extended UD? combining bash script to run batchalign multiple times throughout the directories Removing removing non-auditory SBCA corpus area Diarization Diarization as a Bi-product of ASR humans at the end do speaker ID in the end DO TO BATCHALIGN allow people to reject files runhouse meeting &lt;&gt;Donny Greenberg: ADNE, nurses&rsquo; health implementation at Google: grantees of canniniminty Remaining questions but we can&rsquo;t provide SSH function.save() remote running through hashicorp vault? serializing ssh key remote? RUNHOUSE call into remote! headscale take wave2vec and hubert and GSLM questions? ask about inter-turn pauses, where INV: something something something &lt;- PAR: WWW &lt;- INV: somethingsomething else &lt;- PAR: words words word no bullets are given for PAR, so do we skip it? do we count the time for WWW all as an inter-turn pause between INV and PAR? etc. Per Turn Turn level analysis Rename tier to Silence duration? does it include inter-utterance pauses?
within-utterance pause
fluency, mechanistic between-utterance pause
pause between utterances also: between-speaker pause!
leaves room for the speaker to take the floor BETWEEN speaker pauses: &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know what you are asking me&rdquo;, etc.: &ldquo;breakdown!&rdquo; add features: STOPPA, TRESTLE, Wang

Some PITT data have 3-4 recordings
The best way to diagnosing alzhimers&rsquo; is from language.
Why this field is needed: to analyze a pre-post test metric.
Desired output: existence of dementia (a.k.a alzheimer&rsquo;s&rsquo;).
