SLM: Bridge the thin gap between speech and text foundation models
Mingqiu Wang, Wei Han, Izhak Shafran +15
We present a joint Speech and Language Model (SLM), a multitask, multilingual, and dual-modal model that takes advantage of pretrained foundational speech and language models. SLM…
Efficient Adapters for Giant Speech Models
Nanxin Chen, Izhak Shafran, Yu Zhang +4
Large pre-trained speech models are widely used as the de-facto paradigm, especially in scenarios when there is a limited amount of labeled data available. However, finetuning all…
PaLM 2 Technical Report
Rohan Anil, Andrew M. Dai, Orhan Firat +125
We introduce PaLM 2, a new state-of-the-art language model that has better multilingual and reasoning capabilities and is more compute-efficient than its predecessor PaLM. PaLM 2 i…
VILA: Learning Image Aesthetics from User Comments with Vision-Language Pretraining
Junjie Ke, Keren Ye, Jiahui Yu +3
Assessing the aesthetics of an image is challenging, as it is influenced by multiple factors including composition, color, style, and high-level semantics. Existing image aesthetic…
Google USM: Scaling Automatic Speech Recognition Beyond 100 Languages
Yu Zhang, Wei Han, James Qin +24
We introduce the Universal Speech Model (USM), a single large model that performs automatic speech recognition (ASR) across 100+ languages. This is achieved by pre-training the enc…
AnyTOD: A Programmable Task-Oriented Dialog System
Jeffrey Zhao, Yuan Cao, Raghav Gupta +6
We propose AnyTOD, an end-to-end, zero-shot task-oriented dialog (TOD) system capable of handling unseen tasks without task-specific training. We view TOD as a program executed by…
