DARPA Rich Transcription Workshop %D 2004 %T RT-S: Surface rich transcription scoring, methodology, and initial results %A Snover,M. %A Schwartz,R. %A Dorr, Bonnie J %A Makhoul,J. %X In this paper we present a methodoly for the scoring ofpunctuation annotated texts, as well as a preliminary system to perform the task. We modify SCLITE’s scoring method- ology to support scoring of punctuation. Using this method- ology, we show that the error rate of an initial automatic sys- tem is comparable to annotator inconsistency. However, the use of multiple references allows us to differentiate between human inconsistencies and system errors. %B Proc. DARPA Rich Transcription Workshop %8 2004/// %G eng
