IndicVoices: Towards building an Inclusive Multilingual Speech Dataset for Indian Languages
Tahir Javed, Janki Atul Nawale, Eldho Ittan George +18
We present INDICVOICES, a dataset of natural and spontaneous speech containing a total of 7348 hours of read (9%), extempore (74%) and conversational (17%) audio from 16237 speaker…
Multimodal Modeling For Spoken Language Identification
Shikhar Bharadwaj, Min Ma, Shikhar Vashishth +10
Spoken language identification refers to the task of automatically predicting the spoken language in a given utterance. Conventionally, it is modeled as a speech-based language ide…
Label Aware Speech Representation Learning For Language Identification
Shikhar Vashishth, Shikhar Bharadwaj, Sriram Ganapathy +5
Speech representation learning approaches for non-semantic tasks such as language recognition have either explored supervised embedding extraction methods using a classifier model…
XTREME-UP: A User-Centric Scarce-Data Benchmark for Under-Represented Languages
Sebastian Ruder, Jonathan H. Clark, Alexander Gutkin +24
Data scarcity is a crucial issue for the development of highly multilingual NLP systems. Yet for many under-represented languages (ULs) -- languages for which NLP re-search is part…
Google USM: Scaling Automatic Speech Recognition Beyond 100 Languages
Yu Zhang, Wei Han, James Qin +24
We introduce the Universal Speech Model (USM), a single large model that performs automatic speech recognition (ASR) across 100+ languages. This is achieved by pre-training the enc…
Flexible text generation for counterfactual fairness probing
Zee Fryer, Vera Axelrod, Ben Packer +3
A common approach for testing fairness issues in text-based classifiers is through the use of counterfactuals: does the classifier output change if a sensitive attribute in the inp…
FLEURS: Few-shot Learning Evaluation of Universal Representations of Speech
Alexis Conneau, Min Ma, Simran Khanuja +6
We introduce FLEURS, the Few-shot Learning Evaluation of Universal Representations of Speech benchmark. FLEURS is an n-way parallel speech dataset in 102 languages built on top of…
Building Machine Translation Systems for the Next Thousand Languages
Ankur Bapna, Isaac Caswell, Julia Kreutzer +21
In this paper we share findings from our effort to build practical machine translation (MT) systems capable of translating across over one thousand languages. We describe results i…
XTREME-S: Evaluating Cross-lingual Speech Representations
Alexis Conneau, Ankur Bapna, Yu Zhang +16
We introduce XTREME-S, a new benchmark to evaluate universal cross-lingual speech representations in many languages. XTREME-S covers four task families: speech recognition, classif…
Resolving Gendered Ambiguous Pronouns with BERT
Matei Ionita, Yury Kashnitsky, Ken Krige +3
Pronoun resolution is part of coreference resolution, the task of pairing an expression to its referring entity. This is an important task for natural language understanding and a…
