An analysis of incorporating an external language model into a sequence-to-sequence model
Anjuli Kannan, Yonghui Wu, Patrick Nguyen +3
Attention-based sequence-to-sequence models for automatic speech recognition jointly train an acoustic model, language model, and alignment mechanism. Thus, the language model comp…
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…
Multi-Dialect Speech Recognition With A Single Sequence-To-Sequence Model
Bo Li, Tara N. Sainath, Khe Chai Sim +6
Sequence-to-sequence models provide a simple and elegant solution for building speech recognition systems by folding separate components of a typical system, namely acoustic (AM),…
Natural TTS Synthesis by Conditioning WaveNet on Mel Spectrogram Predictions
Jonathan Shen, Ruoming Pang, Ron J. Weiss +10
This paper describes Tacotron 2, a neural network architecture for speech synthesis directly from text. The system is composed of a recurrent sequence-to-sequence feature predictio…
