Domain adaptation is the supervised learning setting in which the training and test data are sampled from different distributions: training data is sampled from a source domain, whilst test data is sampled from a target domain. This paper…
A significant performance reduction is often observed in speech recognition when the rate of speech (ROS) is too low or too high. Most of present approaches to addressing the ROS variation focus on the change of speech signals in dynamic…
Continual learning (CL), or domain expansion, recently became a popular topic for automatic speech recognition (ASR) acoustic modeling because practical systems have to be updated frequently in order to work robustly on types of speech not…
