Improving Generalization of Deep Neural Network Acoustic Models with Length Perturbation and N-best Based Label Smoothing
Xiaodong Cui, George Saon, Tohru Nagano +4
We introduce two techniques, length perturbation and n-best based label smoothing, to improve generalization of deep neural network (DNN) acoustic models for automatic speech recog…
Towards Reducing the Need for Speech Training Data To Build Spoken Language Understanding Systems
Samuel Thomas, Hong-Kwang J. Kuo, Brian Kingsbury +1
The lack of speech data annotated with labels required for spoken language understanding (SLU) is often a major hurdle in building end-to-end (E2E) systems that can directly proces…
Integrating Text Inputs For Training and Adapting RNN Transducer ASR Models
Samuel Thomas, Brian Kingsbury, George Saon +1
Compared to hybrid automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems that use a modular architecture in which each component can be independently adapted to a new domain, recent end-to-en…
Improving End-to-End Models for Set Prediction in Spoken Language Understanding
Hong-Kwang J. Kuo, Zoltan Tuske, Samuel Thomas +2
The goal of spoken language understanding (SLU) systems is to determine the meaning of the input speech signal, unlike speech recognition which aims to produce verbatim transcripts…
Asynchronous Decentralized Distributed Training of Acoustic Models
Xiaodong Cui, Wei Zhang, Abdullah Kayi +5
Large-scale distributed training of deep acoustic models plays an important role in today's high-performance automatic speech recognition (ASR). In this paper we investigate a vari…
4-bit Quantization of LSTM-based Speech Recognition Models
Andrea Fasoli, Chia-Yu Chen, Mauricio Serrano +9
We investigate the impact of aggressive low-precision representations of weights and activations in two families of large LSTM-based architectures for Automatic Speech Recognition…
