Non-Parallel Voice Conversion for ASR Augmentation
Gary Wang, Andrew Rosenberg, Bhuvana Ramabhadran +4
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) needs to be robust to speaker differences. Voice Conversion (VC) modifies speaker characteristics of input speech. This is an attractive feature…
Analysis of Self-Attention Head Diversity for Conformer-based Automatic Speech Recognition
Kartik Audhkhasi, Yinghui Huang, Bhuvana Ramabhadran +1
Attention layers are an integral part of modern end-to-end automatic speech recognition systems, for instance as part of the Transformer or Conformer architecture. Attention is typ…
Leveraging Unpaired Text Data for Training End-to-End Speech-to-Intent Systems
Yinghui Huang, Hong-Kwang Kuo, Samuel Thomas +5
Training an end-to-end (E2E) neural network speech-to-intent (S2I) system that directly extracts intents from speech requires large amounts of intent-labeled speech data, which is…
End-to-End Spoken Language Understanding Without Full Transcripts
Hong-Kwang J. Kuo, Zoltán Tüske, Samuel Thomas +7
An essential component of spoken language understanding (SLU) is slot filling: representing the meaning of a spoken utterance using semantic entity labels. In this paper, we develo…
English Broadcast News Speech Recognition by Humans and Machines
Samuel Thomas, Masayuki Suzuki, Yinghui Huang +8
With recent advances in deep learning, considerable attention has been given to achieving automatic speech recognition performance close to human performance on tasks like conversa…
Can You Tell Me How to Get Past Sesame Street? Sentence-Level Pretraining Beyond Language Modeling
Alex Wang, Jan Hula, Patrick Xia +13
Natural language understanding has recently seen a surge of progress with the use of sentence encoders like ELMo (Peters et al., 2018a) and BERT (Devlin et al., 2019) which are pre…
