We present a bidirectional unsupervised model pre-training (UPT) method and apply it to children's automatic speech recognition (ASR). An obstacle to improving child ASR is the scarcity of child speech databases. A common approach to…
Agents that interact with other agents often do not know a priori what the other agents' strategies are, but have to maximise their own online return while interacting with and learning about others. The optimal adaptive behaviour under…
Active learning (AL) combines data labeling and model training to minimize the labeling cost by prioritizing the selection of high value data that can best improve model performance. In pool-based active learning, accessible unlabeled data…
