10,000 data points, modeling an extremely complex system, and 90% "success" rate?
The word "overfitting" comes to mind.
Assuming that VocalIQ knows what they're doing - and that's a fairly safe bet, I think - that's not the case. So they've either acquired a massively larger data set, reduced the complexity of the system, or redefined "success". My bet would be on the second one.
They've been in the news before, for working on voice IO for cars. That'd make much more sense than a generic system that massively outperforms all others.
