Continuous Learning for Children's ASR: Overcoming Catastrophic Forgetting with Elastic Weight Consolidation and Synaptic Intelligence
Edem Ahadzi, Vishwanath Pratap Singh, Tomi Kinnunen +1
In this work, we present the first study addressing automatic speech recognition (ASR) for children in an online learning setting. This is particularly important for both child-cen…
