Phonetically-Augmented Discriminative Rescoring for Voice Search Error Correction

Christophe Van Gysel, Maggie Wu, Lyan Verwimp +4

End-to-end (E2E) Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models are trained using paired audio-text samples that are expensive to obtain, since high-quality ground-truth data requires h…

Towards a World-English Language Model for On-Device Virtual Assistants

Rricha Jalota, Lyan Verwimp, Markus Nussbaum-Thom +3

Neural Network Language Models (NNLMs) for Virtual Assistants (VAs) are generally language-, region-, and in some cases, device-dependent, which increases the effort to scale and m…

Application-Agnostic Language Modeling for On-Device ASR

Markus Nußbaum-Thom, Lyan Verwimp, Youssef Oualil

On-device automatic speech recognition systems face several challenges compared to server-based systems. They have to meet stricter constraints in terms of speed, disk size and mem…

Space-Efficient Representation of Entity-centric Query Language Models

Christophe Van Gysel, Mirko Hannemann, Ernest Pusateri +2

Virtual assistants make use of automatic speech recognition (ASR) to help users answer entity-centric queries. However, spoken entity recognition is a difficult problem, due to the…

A Batch Noise Contrastive Estimation Approach for Training Large Vocabulary Language Models

Youssef Oualil, Dietrich Klakow

Training large vocabulary Neural Network Language Models (NNLMs) is a difficult task due to the explicit requirement of the output layer normalization, which typically involves the…

Sequential Recurrent Neural Networks for Language Modeling

Youssef Oualil, Clayton Greenberg, Mittul Singh +1

Feedforward Neural Network (FNN)-based language models estimate the probability of the next word based on the history of the last N words, whereas Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) p…
