Question 180
A transcription model scores well on studio-quality recordings but fails badly on factory-floor calls with machinery noise. Which test is necessary before deployment there?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Evaluation must reflect machine noise, speaker distance and the critical product terms actually spoken on the factory floor. Compare word and key-field errors before and after any supported noise-reduction change.
Incorrect Answers
Excluding noisy real-world samples makes the score look better while concealing the condition in which the system will operate. That is distribution mismatch, not evidence of readiness.
Output speech volume is a synthesis or playback parameter and does not remove acoustic noise from the microphone’s input. The fault is in recognition under noisy conditions.
Endpoint availability shows whether requests complete but cannot demonstrate correct transcription through machinery noise. A healthy API can consistently misrecognize critical instructions.
