Improved Long-Form Speech Recognition by Jointly Modeling the Primary and Non-primary Speakers
Guru Prakash Arumugam, Shuo-yiin Chang, Tara N. Sainath +3
ASR models often suffer from a long-form deletion problem where the model predicts sequential blanks instead of words when transcribing a lengthy audio (in the order of minutes or…
Towards General-Purpose Text-Instruction-Guided Voice Conversion
Chun-Yi Kuan, Chen An Li, Tsu-Yuan Hsu +5
This paper introduces a novel voice conversion (VC) model, guided by text instructions such as "articulate slowly with a deep tone" or "speak in a cheerful boyish voice". Unlike tr…
Text Injection for Capitalization and Turn-Taking Prediction in Speech Models
Shaan Bijwadia, Shuo-yiin Chang, Weiran Wang +3
Text injection for automatic speech recognition (ASR), wherein unpaired text-only data is used to supplement paired audio-text data, has shown promising improvements for word error…
Semantic Segmentation with Bidirectional Language Models Improves Long-form ASR
W. Ronny Huang, Hao Zhang, Shankar Kumar +2
We propose a method of segmenting long-form speech by separating semantically complete sentences within the utterance. This prevents the ASR decoder from needlessly processing fara…
UML: A Universal Monolingual Output Layer for Multilingual ASR
Chao Zhang, Bo Li, Tara N. Sainath +2
Word-piece models (WPMs) are commonly used subword units in state-of-the-art end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. For multilingual ASR, due to the differences in…
