HINTT Submission to the 2nd MLC-SLM Challenge: Comparing Cascaded and Unified Approaches to Diarization and ASR
Takanori Ashihara, Kohei Matsuura, Masato Mimura
This paper presents the HINTT system submitted to the 2nd Challenge and Workshop on Multilingual Conversational Speech Language Model (MLC-SLM). We address multilingual speaker-att…
Improving Large-Scale Weakly Supervised ASR by Filtering and Selection
Kohei Matsuura, Masato Mimura
Leveraging large-scale weakly supervised datasets is crucial to train robust end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) models. However, such datasets often contain noisy labels…
Microphone Array Geometry Independent Multi-Talker Distant ASR: NTT System for the DASR Task of the CHiME-8 Challenge
Naoyuki Kamo, Naohiro Tawara, Atsushi Ando +15
In this paper, we introduce a multi-talker distant automatic speech recognition (DASR) system we designed for the DASR task 1 of the CHiME-8 challenge. Our system performs speaker…
Boosting Hybrid Autoregressive Transducer-based ASR with Internal Acoustic Model Training and Dual Blank Thresholding
Takafumi Moriya, Takanori Ashihara, Masato Mimura +4
A hybrid autoregressive transducer (HAT) is a variant of neural transducer that models blank and non-blank posterior distributions separately. In this paper, we propose a novel int…
Alignment-Free Training for Transducer-based Multi-Talker ASR
Takafumi Moriya, Shota Horiguchi, Marc Delcroix +5
Extending the RNN Transducer (RNNT) to recognize multi-talker speech is essential for wider automatic speech recognition (ASR) applications. Multi-talker RNNT (MT-RNNT) aims to ach…
NTT Multi-Speaker ASR System for the DASR Task of CHiME-8 Challenge
Naoyuki Kamo, Naohiro Tawara, Atsushi Ando +15
We present a distant automatic speech recognition (DASR) system developed for the CHiME-8 DASR track. It consists of a diarization first pipeline. For diarization, we use end-to-en…
Applying LLMs for Rescoring N-best ASR Hypotheses of Casual Conversations: Effects of Domain Adaptation and Context Carry-over
Atsunori Ogawa, Naoyuki Kamo, Kohei Matsuura +5
Large language models (LLMs) have been successfully applied for rescoring automatic speech recognition (ASR) hypotheses. However, their ability to rescore ASR hypotheses of casual…
Knowledge Distillation for Neural Transducer-based Target-Speaker ASR: Exploiting Parallel Mixture/Single-Talker Speech Data
Takafumi Moriya, Hiroshi Sato, Tsubasa Ochiai +7
Neural transducer (RNNT)-based target-speaker speech recognition (TS-RNNT) directly transcribes a target speaker's voice from a multi-talker mixture. It is a promising approach for…
Improving Scheduled Sampling for Neural Transducer-based ASR
Takafumi Moriya, Takanori Ashihara, Hiroshi Sato +3
The recurrent neural network-transducer (RNNT) is a promising approach for automatic speech recognition (ASR) with the introduction of a prediction network that autoregressively co…
Generative Adversarial Training Data Adaptation for Very Low-resource Automatic Speech Recognition
Kohei Matsuura, Masato Mimura, Shinsuke Sakai +1
It is important to transcribe and archive speech data of endangered languages for preserving heritages of verbal culture and automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a powerful tool t…
