SpeechBrain is an open-source and all-in-one speech toolkit. It is designed to facilitate the research and development of neural speech processing technologies by being simple, fle…
Timers and Such: A Practical Benchmark for Spoken Language Understanding with Numbers
Loren Lugosch, Piyush Papreja, Mirco Ravanelli +2
This paper introduces Timers and Such, a new open source dataset of spoken English commands for common voice control use cases involving numbers. We describe the gap in existing sp…
Surprisal-Triggered Conditional Computation with Neural Networks
Loren Lugosch, Derek Nowrouzezahrai, Brett H. Meyer
Autoregressive neural network models have been used successfully for sequence generation, feature extraction, and hypothesis scoring. This paper presents yet another use for these…
Using Speech Synthesis to Train End-to-End Spoken Language Understanding Models
Loren Lugosch, Brett Meyer, Derek Nowrouzezahrai +1
End-to-end models are an attractive new approach to spoken language understanding (SLU) in which the meaning of an utterance is inferred directly from the raw audio without employi…
Speech Model Pre-training for End-to-End Spoken Language Understanding
Loren Lugosch, Mirco Ravanelli, Patrick Ignoto +2
Whereas conventional spoken language understanding (SLU) systems map speech to text, and then text to intent, end-to-end SLU systems map speech directly to intent through a single…
DONUT: CTC-based Query-by-Example Keyword Spotting
Loren Lugosch, Samuel Myer, Vikrant Singh Tomar
Keyword spotting--or wakeword detection--is an essential feature for hands-free operation of modern voice-controlled devices. With such devices becoming ubiquitous, users might wan…
