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

Task Estimation

Last edited: August 8, 2025

Step 0: know what you are building.

breaking tasks

The process of breaking tasks down.

  • We need to research tasks to see how complex they are + how to break them down
  • Research takes time! It should be its own task
  • Over the process of research, the task becomes much simpler

estimating tasks

Requirement: tasks should always be estimated by the person doing the work.

  • Task Estimation should be done each time! tasks shift
  • Estimate only in powers of 2: 30 minutes, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, etc.
  • If you never done something before, double the time than you estimate
  • If you are teaching someone to do something, quadruple the time than you estimate
  • Add buffer time (*1.5), especially if you think yourself as a procrastinator
    • Focus is draining! You need breaks. Take breaks.
    • Things will go wrong! Plan for it.

time iterating

  • If anything is longer than 8 hours, that’s a good sign you need to break it down!
  • Likely that you have to break things down

MVP

You probably don’t have time to build your feature list

taxicab norm

The taxicab norm is a norm against a gridded system; it should follow the same properties of the norm, but not inner products.
