1SPU: 1-step Speech Processing Unit
Karan Singla, Shahab Jalalvand, Yeon-Jun Kim +4
Recent studies have made some progress in refining end-to-end (E2E) speech recognition encoders by applying Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) loss to enhance named entity…
E2E Spoken Entity Extraction for Virtual Agents
Karan Singla, Yeon-Jun Kim, Srinivas Bangalore
In human-computer conversations, extracting entities such as names, street addresses and email addresses from speech is a challenging task. In this paper, we study the impact of fi…
Cross-stitched Multi-modal Encoders
Karan Singla, Daniel Pressel, Ryan Price +3
In this paper, we propose a novel architecture for multi-modal speech and text input. We combine pretrained speech and text encoders using multi-headed cross-modal attention and jo…
Seq-2-Seq based Refinement of ASR Output for Spoken Name Capture
Karan Singla, Shahab Jalalvand, Yeon-Jun Kim +3
Person name capture from human speech is a difficult task in human-machine conversations. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to capture the person names from the caller utt…
