Improving Proper Noun Recognition in End-to-End ASR By Customization of the MWER Loss Criterion

Cal Peyser, Tara N. Sainath, Golan Pundak

Proper nouns present a challenge for end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems in that a particular name may appear only rarely during training, and may have a pr…

A Streaming On-Device End-to-End Model Surpassing Server-Side Conventional Model Quality and Latency

Tara N. Sainath, Yanzhang He, Bo Li +26

Thus far, end-to-end (E2E) models have not been shown to outperform state-of-the-art conventional models with respect to both quality, i.e., word error rate (WER), and latency, i.e…

Phoneme-Based Contextualization for Cross-Lingual Speech Recognition in End-to-End Models

Ke Hu, Antoine Bruguier, Tara N. Sainath +2

Contextual automatic speech recognition, i.e., biasing recognition towards a given context (e.g. user's playlists, or contacts), is challenging in end-to-end (E2E) models. Such mod…

Streaming End-to-end Speech Recognition For Mobile Devices

Yanzhang He, Tara N. Sainath, Rohit Prabhavalkar +17

End-to-end (E2E) models, which directly predict output character sequences given input speech, are good candidates for on-device speech recognition. E2E models, however, present nu…

Contextual Speech Recognition with Difficult Negative Training Examples

Uri Alon, Golan Pundak, Tara N. Sainath

Improving the representation of contextual information is key to unlocking the potential of end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR). In this work, we present a novel an…
