Building competitive direct acoustics-to-word models for English conversational speech recognition
Kartik Audhkhasi, Brian Kingsbury, Bhuvana Ramabhadran +2
Direct acoustics-to-word (A2W) models in the end-to-end paradigm have received increasing attention compared to conventional sub-word based automatic speech recognition models usin…
Embedding-Based Speaker Adaptive Training of Deep Neural Networks
Xiaodong Cui, Vaibhava Goel, George Saon
An embedding-based speaker adaptive training (SAT) approach is proposed and investigated in this paper for deep neural network acoustic modeling. In this approach, speaker embeddin…
Language Modeling with Highway LSTM
Gakuto Kurata, Bhuvana Ramabhadran, George Saon +1
Language models (LMs) based on Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) have shown good gains in many automatic speech recognition tasks. In this paper, we extend an LSTM by adding highway ne…
Direct Acoustics-to-Word Models for English Conversational Speech Recognition
Kartik Audhkhasi, Bhuvana Ramabhadran, George Saon +2
Recent work on end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) has shown that the connectionist temporal classification (CTC) loss can be used to convert acoustics to phone or charac…
English Conversational Telephone Speech Recognition by Humans and Machines
George Saon, Gakuto Kurata, Tom Sercu +9
One of the most difficult speech recognition tasks is accurate recognition of human to human communication. Advances in deep learning over the last few years have produced major sp…
The IBM 2016 English Conversational Telephone Speech Recognition System
George Saon, Tom Sercu, Steven Rennie +1
We describe a collection of acoustic and language modeling techniques that lowered the word error rate of our English conversational telephone LVCSR system to a record 6.6% on the…
