Enhancing Code-switching Speech Recognition with Interactive Language Biases
Hexin Liu, Leibny Paola Garcia, Xiangyu Zhang +2
Languages usually switch within a multilingual speech signal, especially in a bilingual society. This phenomenon is referred to as code-switching (CS), making automatic speech reco…
Enhancing End-to-End Conversational Speech Translation Through Target Language Context Utilization
Amir Hussein, Brian Yan, Antonios Anastasopoulos +2
Incorporating longer context has been shown to benefit machine translation, but the inclusion of context in end-to-end speech translation (E2E-ST) remains under-studied. To bridge…
Speech collage: code-switched audio generation by collaging monolingual corpora
Amir Hussein, Dorsa Zeinali, Ondřej Klejch +6
Designing effective automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems for Code-Switching (CS) often depends on the availability of the transcribed CS resources. To address data scarcity,…
Learning from Flawed Data: Weakly Supervised Automatic Speech Recognition
Dongji Gao, Hainan Xu, Desh Raj +3
Training automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems requires large amounts of well-curated paired data. However, human annotators usually perform "non-verbatim" transcription, whic…
The CHiME-7 DASR Challenge: Distant Meeting Transcription with Multiple Devices in Diverse Scenarios
Samuele Cornell, Matthew Wiesner, Shinji Watanabe +8
The CHiME challenges have played a significant role in the development and evaluation of robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. We introduce the CHiME-7 distant ASR (DA…
HK-LegiCoST: Leveraging Non-Verbatim Transcripts for Speech Translation
Cihan Xiao, Henry Li Xinyuan, Jinyi Yang +4
We introduce HK-LegiCoST, a new three-way parallel corpus of Cantonese-English translations, containing 600+ hours of Cantonese audio, its standard traditional Chinese transcript,…
SURT 2.0: Advances in Transducer-based Multi-talker Speech Recognition
Desh Raj, Daniel Povey, Sanjeev Khudanpur
The Streaming Unmixing and Recognition Transducer (SURT) model was proposed recently as an end-to-end approach for continuous, streaming, multi-talker speech recognition (ASR). Des…
Bypass Temporal Classification: Weakly Supervised Automatic Speech Recognition with Imperfect Transcripts
Dongji Gao, Matthew Wiesner, Hainan Xu +3
This paper presents a novel algorithm for building an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model with imperfect training data. Imperfectly transcribed speech is a prevalent issue in…
MERLIon CCS Challenge Evaluation Plan
Leibny Paola Garcia Perera, Y. H. Victoria Chua, Hexin Liu +5
This paper introduces the inaugural Multilingual Everyday Recordings- Language Identification on Code-Switched Child-Directed Speech (MERLIon CCS) Challenge, focused on developing…
Investigating model performance in language identification: beyond simple error statistics
Suzy J. Styles, Victoria Y. H. Chua, Fei Ting Woon +5
Language development experts need tools that can automatically identify languages from fluent, conversational speech, and provide reliable estimates of usage rates at the level of…
MERLIon CCS Challenge: A English-Mandarin code-switching child-directed speech corpus for language identification and diarization
Victoria Y. H. Chua, Hexin Liu, Leibny Paola Garcia Perera +7
To enhance the reliability and robustness of language identification (LID) and language diarization (LD) systems for heterogeneous populations and scenarios, there is a need for sp…
