Evaluation of Hypothesis-mode Word Alignment performance on the Buckeye 5h test set, measured using metrics such as Reference Match percentage, Word Error Rate (WER), and Boundary Error metrics.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Hypothesis-mode word alignment |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Buckeye 5h (test) |
| Metric | Reference Match Rate |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 29 of 29 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Reference Match Rate](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hypothesis-mode-word-alignment-on-buckeye-5h-test.md?metric=Reference%20Match%20Rate>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Word Error Rate (WER)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hypothesis-mode-word-alignment-on-buckeye-5h-test.md?metric=Word%20Error%20Rate%20(WER)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Matched Word Boundary Error (ms)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hypothesis-mode-word-alignment-on-buckeye-5h-test.md?metric=Matched%20Word%20Boundary%20Error%20(ms)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.

- [F1 Score (\<= 50ms)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/hypothesis-mode-word-alignment-on-buckeye-5h-test.md?metric=F1%20Score%20(%3C%3D%2050ms)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
