This paper investigates the effectiveness of token-level text augmentation and the role of probabilistic linguistic knowledge within a linguistically-motivated evaluation context. Two text augmentation programs, REDA and REDA$_{NG}$, were…
Neural cache language models (LMs) extend the idea of regular cache language models by making the cache probability dependent on the similarity between the current context and the context of the words in the cache. We make an extensive…
Several high-resource Text to Speech (TTS) systems currently produce natural, well-established human-like speech. In contrast, low-resource languages, including Arabic, have very limited TTS systems due to the lack of resources. We propose…
For automatic speech translation (AST), end-to-end approaches are outperformed by cascaded models that transcribe with automatic speech recognition (ASR), then translate with machine translation (MT). A major cause of the performance gap is…
Dementia is a growing problem as our society ages, and detection methods are often invasive and expensive. Recent deep-learning techniques can offer a faster diagnosis and have shown promising results. However, they require large amounts of…
Sequence-to-Sequence (S2S) models recently started to show state-of-the-art performance for automatic speech recognition (ASR). With these large and deep models overfitting remains the largest problem, outweighing performance improvements…
