Teaching BERT to Wait: Balancing Accuracy and Latency for Streaming Disfluency Detection
Angelica Chen, Vicky Zayats, Daniel D. Walker +1
In modern interactive speech-based systems, speech is consumed and transcribed incrementally prior to having disfluencies removed. This post-processing step is crucial for producin…
Residual Adapters for Parameter-Efficient ASR Adaptation to Atypical and Accented Speech
Katrin Tomanek, Vicky Zayats, Dirk Padfield +2
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems are often optimized to work best for speakers with canonical speech patterns. Unfortunately, these systems perform poorly when tested on…
Disfluency Detection with Unlabeled Data and Small BERT Models
Johann C. Rocholl, Vicky Zayats, Daniel D. Walker +3
Disfluency detection models now approach high accuracy on English text. However, little exploration has been done in improving the size and inference time of the model. At the same…
Representations for Question Answering from Documents with Tables and Text
Vicky Zayats, Kristina Toutanova, Mari Ostendorf
Tables in Web documents are pervasive and can be directly used to answer many of the queries searched on the Web, motivating their integration in question answering. Very often inf…
Disfluencies and Human Speech Transcription Errors
Vicky Zayats, Trang Tran, Richard Wright +2
This paper explores contexts associated with errors in transcrip-tion of spontaneous speech, shedding light on human perceptionof disfluencies and other conversational speech pheno…
Giving Attention to the Unexpected: Using Prosody Innovations in Disfluency Detection
Vicky Zayats, Mari Ostendorf
Disfluencies in spontaneous speech are known to be associated with prosodic disruptions. However, most algorithms for disfluency detection use only word transcripts. Integrating pr…
