CoCa 怎么读

CoCa 在英语中的标准读法是 「KOH kuh」（/ˈkoʊkə/）。

Google Research's image-text foundation model; the name packs 'COntrastive CAptioner'. The CoCa casing reads naturally as KOH-kuh — a homograph of 'coca' (Coca-Cola / coca leaf) — which is the most common way it's said. Because it's an acronym, some letter it out C-O-C-A (see-oh-see-AY). Stress on the first syllable: KOH-kuh. No author statement fixes the pronunciation, so usage is unsettled. The hazard: the obvious reading collides with a loaded everyday word, making speakers second-guess and switch to spelling it out.

其他读法：

• 「see oh see AY」 /ˌsiːoʊˌsiːˈeɪ/
