LUCY: Linguistic Understanding and Control Yielding Early Stage of Her
Heting Gao, Hang Shao, Xiong Wang +12
The film Her features Samantha, a sophisticated AI audio agent who is capable of understanding both linguistic and paralinguistic information in human speech and delivering real-ti…
A practical framework for multi-domain speech recognition and an instance sampling method to neural language modeling
Yike Zhang, Xiaobing Feng, Yi Liu +2
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems used on smart phones or vehicles are usually required to process speech queries from very different domains. In such situations, a vanill…
Improving CTC-based speech recognition via knowledge transferring from pre-trained language models
Keqi Deng, Songjun Cao, Yike Zhang +4
Recently, end-to-end automatic speech recognition models based on connectionist temporal classification (CTC) have achieved impressive results, especially when fine-tuned from wav2…
Conversational Speech Recognition By Learning Conversation-level Characteristics
Kun Wei, Yike Zhang, Sining Sun +2
Conversational automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a task to recognize conversational speech including multiple speakers. Unlike sentence-level ASR, conversational ASR can natura…
Improving Streaming Transformer Based ASR Under a Framework of Self-supervised Learning
Songjun Cao, Yueteng Kang, Yanzhe Fu +4
Recently self-supervised learning has emerged as an effective approach to improve the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR). Under such a framework, the neural network…
Improving Speech Recognition Accuracy of Local POI Using Geographical Models
Songjun Cao, Yike Zhang, Xiaobing Feng +1
Nowadays voice search for points of interest (POI) is becoming increasingly popular. However, speech recognition for local POI has remained to be a challenge due to multi-dialect a…
