No Need for a Lexicon? Evaluating the Value of the Pronunciation Lexica in End-to-End Models
Tara N. Sainath, Rohit Prabhavalkar, Shankar Kumar +9
For decades, context-dependent phonemes have been the dominant sub-word unit for conventional acoustic modeling systems. This status quo has begun to be challenged recently by end-…
Minimum Word Error Rate Training for Attention-based Sequence-to-Sequence Models
Rohit Prabhavalkar, Tara N. Sainath, Yonghui Wu +4
Sequence-to-sequence models, such as attention-based models in automatic speech recognition (ASR), are typically trained to optimize the cross-entropy criterion which corresponds t…
Improving the Performance of Online Neural Transducer Models
Tara N. Sainath, Chung-Cheng Chiu, Rohit Prabhavalkar +4
Having a sequence-to-sequence model which can operate in an online fashion is important for streaming applications such as Voice Search. Neural transducer is a streaming sequence-t…
State-of-the-art Speech Recognition With Sequence-to-Sequence Models
Chung-Cheng Chiu, Tara N. Sainath, Yonghui Wu +11
Attention-based encoder-decoder architectures such as Listen, Attend, and Spell (LAS), subsume the acoustic, pronunciation and language model components of a traditional automatic…
