Low-Resource Adaptation of Open-Domain Generative Chatbots
Greyson Gerhard-Young, Raviteja Anantha, Srinivas Chappidi +1
Recent work building open-domain chatbots has demonstrated that increasing model size improves performance. On the other hand, latency and connectivity considerations dictate the m…
End-to-end Anchored Speech Recognition
Yiming Wang, Xing Fan, I-Fan Chen +3
Voice-controlled house-hold devices, like Amazon Echo or Google Home, face the problem of performing speech recognition of device-directed speech in the presence of interfering bac…
Scalable language model adaptation for spoken dialogue systems
Ankur Gandhe, Ariya Rastrow, Bjorn Hoffmeister
Language models (LM) for interactive speech recognition systems are trained on large amounts of data and the model parameters are optimized on past user data. New application inten…
LSTM-based Whisper Detection
Zeynab Raeesy, Kellen Gillespie, Zhenpei Yang +6
This article presents a whisper speech detector in the far-field domain. The proposed system consists of a long-short term memory (LSTM) neural network trained on log-filterbank en…
Device-directed Utterance Detection
Sri Harish Mallidi, Roland Maas, Kyle Goehner +3
In this work, we propose a classifier for distinguishing device-directed queries from background speech in the context of interactions with voice assistants. Applications include r…
Just ASK: Building an Architecture for Extensible Self-Service Spoken Language Understanding
Anjishnu Kumar, Arpit Gupta, Julian Chan +9
This paper presents the design of the machine learning architecture that underlies the Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) a large scale Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) Software Development…
