Asking Questions: finding answers in long oral-history recordings
Long oral-history recordings are rich historical sources, but their length and structure make them difficult to search and reuse. On 13 July 2023, CLARIN published the impact story State-of-the-Art Speech Recognition for Understanding Oral Histories, presenting the Semantic Search / Asking Questions framework developed around speech recognition, generated questions and semantic search. The practical goal is to help researchers and visitors ask a question, find the relevant passage and play the answer directly from the original testimony.
