We design an online end-to-end speech recognition system based on Time-Depth Separable (TDS) convolutions and Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC). We improve the core TDS architecture in order to limit the future context and hence…

Many Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) applications require streaming processing of the audio data. In streaming mode, ASR systems need to start transcribing the input stream before it is complete, i.e., the systems have to process a…
