Scaling few-shot spoken word classification with generative meta-continual learning

Louise Beyers, Batsirayi Mupamhi Ziki, Ruan van der Merwe

Few-shot spoken word classification has largely been developed for applications where a small number of classes is considered, and so the potential of larger-scale few-shot spoken…

Does language matter for spoken word classification? A multilingual generative meta-learning approach

Batsirayi Mupamhi Ziki, Louise Beyers, Ruan van der Merwe

Meta-learning has been shown to have better performance than supervised learning for few-shot monolingual spoken word classification. However, the meta-learning approach remains un…
