A Study on the Integration of Pre-trained SSL, ASR, LM and SLU Models for Spoken Language Understanding

Yifan Peng, Siddhant Arora, Yosuke Higuchi +6

Collecting sufficient labeled data for spoken language understanding (SLU) is expensive and time-consuming. Recent studies achieved promising results by using pre-trained models in…

InterMPL: Momentum Pseudo-Labeling with Intermediate CTC Loss

Yosuke Higuchi, Tetsuji Ogawa, Tetsunori Kobayashi +1

This paper presents InterMPL, a semi-supervised learning method of end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) that performs pseudo-labeling (PL) with intermediate supervision. M…

BECTRA: Transducer-based End-to-End ASR with BERT-Enhanced Encoder

Yosuke Higuchi, Tetsuji Ogawa, Tetsunori Kobayashi +1

We present BERT-CTC-Transducer (BECTRA), a novel end-to-end automatic speech recognition (E2E-ASR) model formulated by the transducer with a BERT-enhanced encoder. Integrating a la…

BERT Meets CTC: New Formulation of End-to-End Speech Recognition with Pre-trained Masked Language Model

Yosuke Higuchi, Brian Yan, Siddhant Arora +3

This paper presents BERT-CTC, a novel formulation of end-to-end speech recognition that adapts BERT for connectionist temporal classification (CTC). Our formulation relaxes the con…
