Почему Cluely и другие плохо слышат русских айтишников: разбор того, как Whisper ломается и что мы сделали с этим

В январе я купил подписки на Cluely, Final Round AI и Sensei. Хотел посмотреть как они справляются с русским айти-собесами, раз уж все три заявляют о поддержке русского. Подключил по очереди к тестовому звонку в Телемосте (сомневаюсь, что платформа имела роль, но все же), прогнал одну и ту же запись: Senior Python backend разработчик, 45 минут, стек FastAPI + PostgreSQL + Kafka + Kubernetes. Обычный русский спикер, если важно - из Москвы, с речью проблем не было, нормальный микрофон Все три выдали транскрипт и все три провалились, как неожиданно.. "Кафка" в половине случаев становилась "как-то" или "кофта". "Кубернетис" превращался в "губер нет тест". "Сабскрайбер патерн" - в "саб скрайп патерн". "Middleware для CSRF" - "мидл-вер для си эс эр эф" - это еще норм Проблема не в том, что человек говорил по-русски, и не в том, что Whisper не умеет русский (сноска: хорошо не умеет). Whisper умеет русский нормально, около 9.8% WER на Common Voice. Проблема в другом: русскоязычный айтишник не говорит ни на чистом русском, ни на чистом английском. Он говорит на гибриде: русская грамматика плюс английские термины плюс своеобразное произношение этих терминов плюс местами свой жаргон вроде "гошечки" и "крудошлёпа" Этот гибрид ни один из популярных STT не держит. Потому что его в тренировочных данных почти нет Разбираю ниже, как устроена эта проблема, что с ней делают конкуренты (почти ничего), и что сделали мы

Also the code-switching between talking to Americans and talking to New Zealanders. But trying not to talk so Kiwi that I come across as putting on an act. When in fact I just pick up new words and new dialects fast and somewhat unconsciously.

(As an immigrant whose been in Aotearoa for nearly two decades)

Just a few things I think about when I try to communicate with other humans.

Exzessives #CodeSwitching:

👦Iiiiima! Kann ich mich mit [Freundesname] verabreden! Er hat seinen neuen GamingPC.

👩Mashallah! hat er nicht letztes Jahr einen neuen bekommen? Wieviele PCs brauch man denn so mit 15?

👦Now that you mention it, darüber wollte ich noch mit Euch reden. Er will seinen alten verkaufen. asking price is only 500 Euros. That‘s practically a steal.

👨Verabreden, ken! Aber neuer PC: I don‘t think that’s in your near future!

👩Yalla, Schatzis! Wir müssen! On-y va!

Sharing because there's baso kelate but as a comment said, this is only half the story, wait till the borneans come in: https://youtu.be/Z0ci9EQgM4o

I'm thinking about the sexiness of code switching. It's incredibly intimate when someone is safe and supportive of you speaking in a second language. It's even sexier when you can both switch freely between your shared languages.

Yes, this can be mundane and banal in everyday multilingual environments. But trust me: in the right conditions, it can be incredibly sexy.

I [Finally!] Told my #Dad he needs to first presume that the restaurant staff (likely the owners or managers at small eateries) can speak English fluently, and to respectfully talk in full sentences.

I did this disarmingly by acknowledging intentions, but learned he isn't aware of his oppressive #CodeSwitching
He has a #TBI, but the presumptions are value based, and that's what needs to be disrupted.

#Pride my dad attended the everyone is Gay and God loves us sermon at church 💖💖💖 Tell 'em!!
