Every word should have an individual time span. about localized-narratives HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @gordon-lim,

Thanks for your interest in the data.

The ASR we used (and the majority, I'd say) work with "utterances" as their smallest unit, not words. Sometimes, therefore, they recognize "In this" as a single unit, as happened in the example you pointed out. The wording in this fragment of the paper is indeed not precise: it should say utterance instead of word.

Bottom line is that we rely on the ASR to segment the sentences and we have no way of dividing them further, as we wouldn't know which timestamp to assign to them.

I hope this helps.

Best,

Thank you very much for the clarification.
