Researchers have detailed the extensive engineering process involved in creating Sophea, a bilingual Greek-English automatic speech recognition system. Despite numerous training iterations and architectural adjustments, no single model configuration met all nine production gates, which included metrics for word error rate, language identification, and hallucination detection. The development highlighted trade-offs between optimizing for Greek noisy environments and maintaining English accuracy, alongside challenges in data filtering and identifying defects within specific training data packages. Ultimately, a six-stage data pipeline and a three-model ROVER ensemble were crucial for achieving the desired performance, with a separate arbiter model, sophea/asr-k1, showing promising results on public leaderboards.
