Phonetic speech transcription is crucial for fine-grained linguistic analysis and downstream speech applications. While Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) is a widely used approach for such tasks due to its efficiency, it often…

The success of deep learning comes from its ability to capture the hierarchical structure of data by learning high-level representations defined in terms of low-level ones. In this paper we explore self-supervised learning of hierarchical…

The recent emergence of joint CTC-Attention model shows significant improvement in automatic speech recognition (ASR). The improvement largely lies in the modeling of linguistic information by decoder. The decoder joint-optimized with an…

Recent works show that learning contextualized embeddings for words is beneficial for downstream tasks. BERT is one successful example of this approach. It learns embeddings by solving two tasks, which are masked language model (masked LM)…

Connectionist temporal classification (CTC) provides an end-to-end acoustic model (AM) training strategy. CTC learns accurate AMs without time-aligned phonetic transcription, but sometimes fails to converge, especially in…

Conversational analysis systems are trained using noisy human labels and often require heavy preprocessing during multi-modal feature extraction. Using noisy labels in single-task learning increases the risk of over-fitting. Auxiliary tasks…
