We present the Zero Resource Speech Challenge 2020, which aims at learning speech
representations from raw audio signals without any labels. It combines the data
sets and metrics from two previous benchmarks (2017 and 2019) and features two
tasks which tap into two levels of speech representation. The first task is to
discover low bit-rate subword representations that optimize the quality of speech
synthesis; the second one is to discover word-like units from unsegmented raw
speech. We present the results of the twenty submitted models and discuss the
implications of the main findings for unsupervised speech learning.
