Towards Effective and Efficient Non-autoregressive decoders for Conformer and LLM-based ASR using Block-based Attention Mask
Tianzi Wang, Xurong Xie, Zengrui Jin +9
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems often rely on autoregressive (AR) Transformer decoder architectures, which limit efficient inference parallelization due to their sequent…
Exploring Cross-Utterance Speech Contexts for Conformer-Transducer Speech Recognition Systems
Mingyu Cui, Mengzhe Geng, Jiajun Deng +8
This paper investigates four types of cross-utterance speech contexts modeling approaches for streaming and non-streaming Conformer-Transformer (C-T) ASR systems: i) input audio fe…
Supporting SENCOTEN Language Documentation Efforts with Automatic Speech Recognition
Mengzhe Geng, Patrick Littell, Aidan Pine +3
The SENCOTEN language, spoken on the Saanich peninsula of southern Vancouver Island, is in the midst of vigorous language revitalization efforts to turn the tide of language loss a…
Regularized Federated Learning for Privacy-Preserving Dysarthric and Elderly Speech Recognition
Tao Zhong, Mengzhe Geng, Shujie Hu +2
Accurate recognition of dysarthric and elderly speech remains challenging to date. While privacy concerns have driven a shift from centralized approaches to federated learning (FL)…
MOPSA: Mixture of Prompt-Experts Based Speaker Adaptation for Elderly Speech Recognition
Chengxi Deng, Xurong Xie, Shujie Hu +10
This paper proposes a novel Mixture of Prompt-Experts based Speaker Adaptation approach (MOPSA) for elderly speech recognition. It allows zero-shot, real-time adaptation to unseen…
Towards LLM-Empowered Fine-Grained Speech Descriptors for Explainable Emotion Recognition
Youjun Chen, Xurong Xie, Haoning Xu +6
This paper presents a novel end-to-end LLM-empowered explainable speech emotion recognition (SER) approach. Fine-grained speech emotion descriptor (SED) features, e.g., pitch, tone…
Effective and Efficient One-pass Compression of Speech Foundation Models Using Sparsity-aware Self-pinching Gates
Haoning Xu, Zhaoqing Li, Youjun Chen +5
This paper presents a novel approach for speech foundation models compression that tightly integrates model pruning and parameter update into a single stage. Highly compact layer-l…
On-the-fly Routing for Zero-shot MoE Speaker Adaptation of Speech Foundation Models for Dysarthric Speech Recognition
Shujie HU, Xurong Xie, Mengzhe Geng +8
