Scaling ASR Improves Zero and Few Shot Learning
Alex Xiao, Weiyi Zheng, Gil Keren +6
With 4.5 million hours of English speech from 10 different sources across 120 countries and models of up to 10 billion parameters, we explore the frontiers of scale for automatic s…
Towards Measuring Fairness in Speech Recognition: Casual Conversations Dataset Transcriptions
Chunxi Liu, Michael Picheny, Leda Sarı +7
It is well known that many machine learning systems demonstrate bias towards specific groups of individuals. This problem has been studied extensively in the Facial Recognition are…
Streaming Transformer Transducer Based Speech Recognition Using Non-Causal Convolution
Yangyang Shi, Chunyang Wu, Dilin Wang +9
This paper improves the streaming transformer transducer for speech recognition by using non-causal convolution. Many works apply the causal convolution to improve streaming transf…
Transferring Voice Knowledge for Acoustic Event Detection: An Empirical Study
Dawei Liang, Yangyang Shi, Yun Wang +6
Detection of common events and scenes from audio is useful for extracting and understanding human contexts in daily life. Prior studies have shown that leveraging knowledge from a…
Flexi-Transducer: Optimizing Latency, Accuracy and Compute forMulti-Domain On-Device Scenarios
Jay Mahadeokar, Yangyang Shi, Yuan Shangguan +7
Often, the storage and computational constraints of embeddeddevices demand that a single on-device ASR model serve multiple use-cases / domains. In this paper, we propose aFlexible…
Dynamic Encoder Transducer: A Flexible Solution For Trading Off Accuracy For Latency
Yangyang Shi, Varun Nagaraja, Chunyang Wu +9
We propose a dynamic encoder transducer (DET) for on-device speech recognition. One DET model scales to multiple devices with different computation capacities without retraining or…
Contrastive Semi-supervised Learning for ASR
Alex Xiao, Christian Fuegen, Abdelrahman Mohamed
Pseudo-labeling is the most adopted method for pre-training automatic speech recognition (ASR) models. However, its performance suffers from the supervised teacher model's degradin…
Transformer in action: a comparative study of transformer-based acoustic models for large scale speech recognition applications
Yongqiang Wang, Yangyang Shi, Frank Zhang +4
In this paper, we summarize the application of transformer and its streamable variant, Emformer based acoustic model for large scale speech recognition applications. We compare the…
Large scale weakly and semi-supervised learning for low-resource video ASR
Kritika Singh, Vimal Manohar, Alex Xiao +7
Many semi- and weakly-supervised approaches have been investigated for overcoming the labeling cost of building high quality speech recognition systems. On the challenging task of…
Transformer-based Acoustic Modeling for Hybrid Speech Recognition
Yongqiang Wang, Abdelrahman Mohamed, Duc Le +10
We propose and evaluate transformer-based acoustic models (AMs) for hybrid speech recognition. Several modeling choices are discussed in this work, including various positional emb…
