Sequence-to-sequence (S2S) modeling is becoming a popular paradigm for automatic speech recognition (ASR) because of its ability to jointly optimize all the conventional ASR components in an end-to-end (E2E) fashion. This report…

This paper describes a new baseline system for automatic speech recognition (ASR) in the CHiME-4 challenge to promote the development of noisy ASR in speech processing communities by providing 1) state-of-the-art system with a simplified…

Fine-tuning pretrained language models (LMs) is a popular approach to automatic speech recognition (ASR) error detection during post-processing. While error detection systems often take advantage of statistical language archetypes captured…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has shown rapid advances in recent years but still degrades significantly in far-field and noisy environments. The recent development of self-supervised learning (SSL) technology can improve the ASR…

Spatial clustering techniques can achieve significant multi-channel noise reduction across relatively arbitrary microphone configurations, but have difficulty incorporating a detailed speech/noise model. In contrast, LSTM neural networks…

This paper describes noisy speech recognition for an augmented reality headset that helps verbal communication within real multiparty conversational environments. A major approach that has actively been studied in simulated environments is…

We present a novel multi-channel front-end based on channel shortening with theWeighted Prediction Error (WPE) method followed by a fixed MVDR beamformer used in combination with a recently proposed self-attention-based channel combination…

We present a frontend for improving robustness of automatic speech recognition (ASR), that jointly implements three modules within a single model: acoustic echo cancellation, speech enhancement, and speech separation. This is achieved by…

Acoustic models in real-time speech recognition systems typically stack multiple unidirectional LSTM layers to process the acoustic frames over time. Performance improvements over vanilla LSTM architectures have been reported by prepending…

This paper introduces a new method for multi-channel time domain speech separation in reverberant environments. A fully-convolutional neural network structure has been used to directly separate speech from multiple microphone recordings,…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) of multi-channel multi-speaker overlapped speech remains one of the most challenging tasks to the speech community. In this paper, we look into this challenge by utilizing the location information of…

We investigate the effect of speaker localization on the performance of speech recognition systems in a multispeaker, multichannel environment. Given the speaker location information, speech separation is performed in three stages. In the…

Text encodings from automatic speech recognition (ASR) transcripts and audio representations have shown promise in speech emotion recognition (SER) ever since. Yet, it is challenging to explain the effect of each information stream on the…

It has been shown that the intelligibility of noisy speech can be improved by speech enhancement (SE) algorithms. However, monaural SE has not been established as an effective frontend for automatic speech recognition (ASR) in noisy…

While there has been substantial amount of work in speaker diarization recently, there are few efforts in jointly employing lexical and acoustic information for speaker segmentation. Towards that, we investigate a speaker diarization system…

Humans are capable of processing speech by making use of multiple sensory modalities. For example, the environment where a conversation takes place generally provides semantic and/or acoustic context that helps us to resolve ambiguities or…

Spatial information is a critical clue for multi-channel multi-speaker target speech recognition. Most state-of-the-art multi-channel Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems extract spatial features only during the speech separation…

Recently, speech enhancement technologies that are based on deep learning have received considerable research attention. If the spatial information in microphone signals is exploited, microphone arrays can be advantageous under some adverse…

This work introduces the Cleanformer, a streaming multichannel neural based enhancement frontend for automatic speech recognition (ASR). This model has a conformer-based architecture which takes as inputs a single channel each of raw and…

Recurrent neural networks using the LSTM architecture can achieve significant single-channel noise reduction. It is not obvious, however, how to apply them to multi-channel inputs in a way that can generalize to new microphone…
