This disclosure relates generally to ASR and is particularly directed to automatic, efficient, and intelligent detection of transcription bias in ASR models. Contrary to a tradition approach to the testing of ASR bias, the example implementations disclosed herein do not require actual test speeches and corresponding ground-truth texts. Instead, test speeches may be machine-generated from a pre-constructed reference textual passage according short speech samples of speakers using a neural voice cloning technology. The reference passage may be constructed according to a particular target domain of the ASR model being tested. Bias of the ASR model in various aspects may be identified by analyzing transcribed text from the machine-generated speeches and the reference textual passage. The underlying principles for bias detection may be applied to evaluation of general transcription effectiveness and accuracy of the ASR model.

Techniques are described to generate a 3D scene by mapping a point cloud with a 2D image, and colorize portions of the 3D scene synthetically. An input is received to select, from the 3D scene, a portion to be colorized synthetically. The colorizing includes generating a reflectance image based on an intensity image of the point cloud. The colorizing further includes generating an occlusion mask that identifies the selected portion in the reflectance image. The colorizing further includes estimating, using a trained machine learning model, a color for each of the one or more points in the selected portion based on the reflectance image, the occlusion mask, and the 2D image. The 3D scene is updated by using the estimated colors from the trained machine learning model to colorize the selected portion.

A head-wearable apparatus determines an imaginary reference plane intersecting a head of a user viewing augmented content in a viewing pane having vertical and lateral dimensions in a display of the head-wearable apparatus. The imaginary reference plane coincides with a first viewing direction of the head of the user. The apparatus detects a rotational movement of the head of the user in a vertical direction while viewing the augmented content. In response to the detected rotational movement, the apparatus determines a second viewing direction of the head of the user when viewing the augmented content in the second viewing direction and determines a reference angle between the imaginary reference plane and the second viewing direction. Based on the reference angle, the apparatus assign one of a billboard display mode and a headlock display mode (or combination) to the augmented content presented in the display.

Techniques for mapping size information associated with a client to target brands, garments, sizes, shapes, and styles for which there is no standardized correlation. The size information associated with a client may be generated by modeling client garments, accessing computer aided drawing (CAD) files associated with client garments, or by analyzing a history of garment purchases associated with the client. Information for target garments may be generated in a similar fashion. A system may then create a standardized scale with a set of sizes for a target, and map a client base size to that standardized size scale. Similar matching and mapping may also be done with shape and style considerations. A recommendation based on the mapping may then be communicated to the client.
