Members of the ILSA project are working in a collaboration with AppTek, a leading company in artificial intelligence and machine learning for automatic speech recognition and machine translation. This association works around the NER model. It aims to transfer the NER model from academia and the industry to the end-users, to raise awareness of live subtitling quality. Several blogs have already been published on the state of live captioning today, about how the quality of live captions should be assessed, and one last post containing an infographic of the NER model itself.
