SpecAugment on Large Scale Datasets
Daniel S. Park, Yu Zhang, Chung-Cheng Chiu +5
Recently, SpecAugment, an augmentation scheme for automatic speech recognition that acts directly on the spectrogram of input utterances, has shown to be highly effective in enhanc…
A comparison of end-to-end models for long-form speech recognition
Chung-Cheng Chiu, Wei Han, Yu Zhang +11
End-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) models, including both attention-based models and the recurrent neural network transducer (RNN-T), have shown superior performance com…
Speech Sentiment Analysis via Pre-trained Features from End-to-end ASR Models
Zhiyun Lu, Liangliang Cao, Yu Zhang +2
In this paper, we propose to use pre-trained features from end-to-end ASR models to solve speech sentiment analysis as a down-stream task. We show that end-to-end ASR features, whi…
ESPnet-TTS: Unified, Reproducible, and Integratable Open Source End-to-End Text-to-Speech Toolkit
Tomoki Hayashi, Ryuichi Yamamoto, Katsuki Inoue +6
This paper introduces a new end-to-end text-to-speech (E2E-TTS) toolkit named ESPnet-TTS, which is an extension of the open-source speech processing toolkit ESPnet. The toolkit sup…
Speech Recognition with Augmented Synthesized Speech
Andrew Rosenberg, Yu Zhang, Bhuvana Ramabhadran +4
Recent success of the Tacotron speech synthesis architecture and its variants in producing natural sounding multi-speaker synthesized speech has raised the exciting possibility of…
Learning to Speak Fluently in a Foreign Language: Multilingual Speech Synthesis and Cross-Language Voice Cloning
Yu Zhang, Ron J. Weiss, Heiga Zen +6
We present a multispeaker, multilingual text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis model based on Tacotron that is able to produce high quality speech in multiple languages. Moreover, the mode…
LibriTTS: A Corpus Derived from LibriSpeech for Text-to-Speech
Heiga Zen, Viet Dang, Rob Clark +5
This paper introduces a new speech corpus called "LibriTTS" designed for text-to-speech use. It is derived from the original audio and text materials of the LibriSpeech corpus, whi…
SpecAugment: A Simple Data Augmentation Method for Automatic Speech Recognition
Daniel S. Park, William Chan, Yu Zhang +4
We present SpecAugment, a simple data augmentation method for speech recognition. SpecAugment is applied directly to the feature inputs of a neural network (i.e., filter bank coeff…
