Researchers have introduced HATS, a new French dataset designed to evaluate Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems by incorporating human perception. The dataset was created by having 143 individuals compare and select the better transcription from two options generated by different ASR systems. This effort aims to move beyond traditional metrics like Word Error Rate (WER), which are considered insufficient for assessing ASR quality from a human user's perspective. AI
