Optimizing Bilingual Neural Transducer with Synthetic Code-switching Text Generation
Thien Nguyen, Nathalie Tran, Liuhui Deng +16
Code-switching describes the practice of using more than one language in the same sentence. In this study, we investigate how to optimize a neural transducer based bilingual automa…
SLURP: A Spoken Language Understanding Resource Package
Emanuele Bastianelli, Andrea Vanzo, Pawel Swietojanski +1
Spoken Language Understanding infers semantic meaning directly from audio data, and thus promises to reduce error propagation and misunderstandings in end-user applications. Howeve…
Building Proactive Voice Assistants: When and How (not) to Interact
O. Miksik, I. Munasinghe, J. Asensio-Cubero +17
Voice assistants have recently achieved remarkable commercial success. However, the current generation of these devices is typically capable of only reactive interactions. In other…
Multi-task self-supervised learning for Robust Speech Recognition
Mirco Ravanelli, Jianyuan Zhong, Santiago Pascual +4
Despite the growing interest in unsupervised learning, extracting meaningful knowledge from unlabelled audio remains an open challenge. To take a step in this direction, we recentl…
Static Visual Spatial Priors for DoA Estimation
Pawel Swietojanski, Ondrej Miksik
As we interact with the world, for example when we communicate with our colleagues in a large open space or meeting room, we continuously analyse the surrounding environment and, i…
Benchmarking Natural Language Understanding Services for building Conversational Agents
Xingkun Liu, Arash Eshghi, Pawel Swietojanski +1
We have recently seen the emergence of several publicly available Natural Language Understanding (NLU) toolkits, which map user utterances to structured, but more abstract, Dialogu…
