Overview of the First Shared Task on Automatic Minuting (AutoMin) at Interspeech 2021

Abstract

In this article, we report the findings of the First Shared Task on Automatic Minuting (AutoMin) . The primary objective of the AutoMin shared task was to garner community participation to create minutes from multi-party meetings automatically. The shared task was endorsed by the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA) and was also an Interspeech 2021 satellite event. AutoMin was held virtually on September 4, 2021. The motivation for AutoMin was to bring together the Speech and Natural Language Processing (NLP) community to jointly investigate the challenges and propose in-novative solutions for this timely yet important use case. Ten different teams from diverse backgrounds participated in the shared task and presented their systems. More details on the shared task can be found at https://elitr.github.io/ automatic-minuting .
