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…
Progressive Alignment Objectives for Aligner-Encoder based ASR
Jaeyoung Lee, Masato Mimura, Takafumi Moriya
Aligner-Encoders are recently proposed seq2seq end-to-end ASR models that replace decoder attention by predicting the uth token directly from the u-th encoder position, so the enco…
Chunkwise Aligners for Streaming Speech Recognition
Wen Shen Teo, Takafumi Moriya, Masato Mimura
We propose the Chunkwise Aligner, a novel architecture for streaming automatic speech recognition (ASR). While the Transducer is the standard model for streaming ASR, its training…
Decoder-only Conformer with Modality-aware Sparse Mixtures of Experts for ASR
Jaeyoung Lee, Masato Mimura
We present a decoder-only Conformer for automatic speech recognition (ASR) that processes speech and text in a single stack without external speech encoders or pretrained large lan…
All-in-One ASR: Unifying Encoder-Decoder Models of CTC, Attention, and Transducer in Dual-Mode ASR
Takafumi Moriya, Masato Mimura, Tomohiro Tanaka +3
This paper proposes a unified framework, All-in-One ASR, that allows a single model to support multiple automatic speech recognition (ASR) paradigms, including connectionist tempor…
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…
