Question 7

+2 marksNumerical answer

An Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system produces a hypothesis transcript for a spoken audio clip. Calculate the Word Error Rate (WER) of the system given the reference (ground truth) and hypothesis transcripts below: Reference (Ground Truth): "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy black dog"• Hypothesis (ASR Output): "the fast brown fox jumped over lazy black dog today"• (Note: Provide your answer as a decimal rounded to two decimal places.)
