Sentence-wise Speech Summarization: Task, Datasets, and End-to-End Modeling with LM Knowledge Distillation
Kohei Matsuura, Takanori Ashihara, Takafumi Moriya +4
This paper introduces a novel approach called sentence-wise speech summarization (Sen-SSum), which generates text summaries from a spoken document in a sentence-by-sentence manner.…
What Do Self-Supervised Speech and Speaker Models Learn? New Findings From a Cross Model Layer-Wise Analysis
Takanori Ashihara, Marc Delcroix, Takafumi Moriya +3
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has attracted increased attention for learning meaningful speech representations. Speech SSL models, such as WavLM, employ masked prediction training…
Transfer Learning from Pre-trained Language Models Improves End-to-End Speech Summarization
Kohei Matsuura, Takanori Ashihara, Takafumi Moriya +4
End-to-end speech summarization (E2E SSum) directly summarizes input speech into easy-to-read short sentences with a single model. This approach is promising because it, in contras…
SpeechGLUE: How Well Can Self-Supervised Speech Models Capture Linguistic Knowledge?
Takanori Ashihara, Takafumi Moriya, Kohei Matsuura +5
Self-supervised learning (SSL) for speech representation has been successfully applied in various downstream tasks, such as speech and speaker recognition. More recently, speech SS…
Exploration of Language Dependency for Japanese Self-Supervised Speech Representation Models
Takanori Ashihara, Takafumi Moriya, Kohei Matsuura +1
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has been dramatically successful not only in monolingual but also in cross-lingual settings. However, since the two settings have been studied indivi…
Leveraging Large Text Corpora for End-to-End Speech Summarization
Kohei Matsuura, Takanori Ashihara, Takafumi Moriya +4
End-to-end speech summarization (E2E SSum) is a technique to directly generate summary sentences from speech. Compared with the cascade approach, which combines automatic speech re…
Deep versus Wide: An Analysis of Student Architectures for Task-Agnostic Knowledge Distillation of Self-Supervised Speech Models
Takanori Ashihara, Takafumi Moriya, Kohei Matsuura +1
Self-supervised learning (SSL) is seen as a very promising approach with high performance for several speech downstream tasks. Since the parameters of SSL models are generally so l…
Speech Corpus of Ainu Folklore and End-to-end Speech Recognition for Ainu Language
Kohei Matsuura, Sei Ueno, Masato Mimura +2
Ainu is an unwritten language that has been spoken by Ainu people who are one of the ethnic groups in Japan. It is recognized as critically endangered by UNESCO and archiving and d…
