score_wer.py — Step 5: score every engine's output against ground truth.
Reads results/<engine>.csv for every engine present, joins each on clip_id
against audio/ground_truth.csv, and computes:
- WER (Word Error Rate)
- CER (Character Error Rate)
- Accuracy (1 - WER)
- Insertion rate → proxy for hallucination (words added that weren't said)
- Deletion rate → proxy for segment loss (words/chunks dropped)
- Transcript loss → % of clips where the engine returned empty output
Text is normalized identically for every engine before scoring (lowercased,
punctuation stripped) so no engine is unfairly penalized for cosmetic
formatting differences.
NOTE on switch-point WER: this requires ground_truth.csv to mark WHERE in
each sentence the language switches (e.g. word-level language tags). Our
current ground_truth.csv doesn't have that annotation yet — this script
computes whole-clip WER only. If switch-point accuracy is required for
scoring, that needs a separate annotation pass on the ground truth first
(flag this as a known limitation in the report, not a silent gap).
Usage:
!python scripts/score_wer.py --language igbo
Needs: pip install jiwer pandas
