Certified Data Removal from Machine Learning Models
Chuan Guo, Tom Goldstein, Awni Hannun +1
Good data stewardship requires removal of data at the request of the data's owner. This raises the question if and how a trained machine-learning model, which implicitly stores inf…
Lead2Gold: Towards exploiting the full potential of noisy transcriptions for speech recognition
Adrien Dufraux, Emmanuel Vincent, Awni Hannun +2
The transcriptions used to train an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system may contain errors. Usually, either a quality control stage discards transcriptions with too many erro…
Privacy-Preserving Multi-Party Contextual Bandits
Awni Hannun, Brian Knott, Shubho Sengupta +1
Contextual bandits are online learners that, given an input, select an arm and receive a reward for that arm. They use the reward as a learning signal and aim to maximize the total…
Self-Training for End-to-End Speech Recognition
Jacob Kahn, Ann Lee, Awni Hannun
We revisit self-training in the context of end-to-end speech recognition. We demonstrate that training with pseudo-labels can substantially improve the accuracy of a baseline model…
Word-level Speech Recognition with a Letter to Word Encoder
Ronan Collobert, Awni Hannun, Gabriel Synnaeve
We propose a direct-to-word sequence model which uses a word network to learn word embeddings from letters. The word network can be integrated seamlessly with arbitrary sequence mo…
Sequence-to-Sequence Speech Recognition with Time-Depth Separable Convolutions
Awni Hannun, Ann Lee, Qiantong Xu +1
We propose a fully convolutional sequence-to-sequence encoder architecture with a simple and efficient decoder. Our model improves WER on LibriSpeech while being an order of magnit…
A Fully Differentiable Beam Search Decoder
Ronan Collobert, Awni Hannun, Gabriel Synnaeve
We introduce a new beam search decoder that is fully differentiable, making it possible to optimize at training time through the inference procedure. Our decoder allows us to combi…
