01 / The short version
What happened
The Open ASR Leaderboard has added Egyptian and Nigerian English accents through a collaboration with Liva AI. This follows previous additions of private data from Appen, DataOceanAI, and Voice Arena covering five accents and Indian-accented English. The publisher states the goal is to improve representation in ASR evaluations and reduce benchmaxxing using private data. Liva AI collects multimodal interaction data through consumer products used by real people, providing natural, high-context behavior across domains and languages.
