Oh, it's a very tough test for my very poor knowledge of Chinese but one I'm more than willing to fail! It will only take me an infinity of time to do it.
It appears that, although it seems to be good enough to follow the lecture, it's not very accurate.
For example, at the beginning, when the woman is presenting 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán), Whisper translates a part as 'Now, Mr. Hou Yifan is the director of the Office of Foreign Affairs of the Ministry of Education.'
Oh, one would not believe how many wonderful things can happen as one is disconnected for a few hours! I just look forward to the day when 侯逸凡老师 will run for FIDE President! Thank you so much for your assistance.
Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think about her lecture?

ReplyDeleteI'm going to try to use Whisper (https://openai.com/research/whisper) to see if it can translate it accurately.

Surely that's not right, is it?
I ran it again and now it says "Now Teacher Hou Yifan is the office director of the Foreign Affairs Office of our Sports and Education Department."

I'm not sure she'll leave PKU any time soon.
ReplyDeleteShe seems to be in love with that university.
To be sure, she has all reasons to hold tight to her beloved PKU, and I wish her all the best in her academic career.
