Audio recognition in specialized areas such as birdsong and submarine acoustics faces challenges in large-scale pre-training due to the limitations in available samples imposed by sampling environments and specificity requirements. While…

Knowledge distillation is one of the most effective methods for model compression. Previous studies have focused on the student model effectively training the predictive distribution of the teacher model. However, during training, the…

Reading comprehension by machine has been widely studied, but machine comprehension of spoken content is still a less investigated problem. In this paper, we release Open-Domain Spoken Question Answering Dataset (ODSQA) with more than three…

Deep learning-based speech enhancement (SE) models have recently outperformed traditional techniques, yet their deployment on resource-constrained devices remains challenging due to high computational and memory demands. This paper…

Transducer is one of the mainstream frameworks for streaming speech recognition. There is a performance gap between the streaming and non-streaming transducer models due to limited context. To reduce this gap, an effective way is to ensure…

While neural models have been shown to exhibit strong performance on single-turn visual question answering (VQA) tasks, extending VQA to a multi-turn, conversational setting remains a challenge. One way to address this challenge is to…

Continual learning refers to a dynamical framework in which a model receives a stream of non-stationary data over time and must adapt to new data while preserving previously acquired knowledge. Unluckily, neural networks fail to meet these…

Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) plays a key role in advancing human-computer interaction. Attention mechanisms have become the dominant approach for modeling emotional speech due to their ability to capture long-range dependencies and…

Sequential recommender systems (SRS) have become a research hotspot due to its power in modeling user dynamic interests and sequential behavioral patterns. To maximize model expressive ability, a default choice is to apply a larger and…

Audio classification is an active research area with a wide range of applications. Over the past decade, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been the de-facto standard building block for end-to-end audio classification models.…

Knowledge distillation, transferring knowledge from a teacher model to a student model, has emerged as a powerful technique in neural machine translation for compressing models or simplifying training targets. Knowledge distillation…

Cued Speech (CS) is a visual coding tool to encode spoken languages at the phonetic level, which combines lip-reading and hand gestures to effectively assist communication among people with hearing impairments. The Automatic CS Recognition…

Spoken Question Answering (SQA) is essential for machines to reply to user's question by finding the answer span within a given spoken passage. SQA has been previously achieved without ASR to avoid recognition errors and Out-of-Vocabulary…

A computationally expensive and memory intensive neural network lies behind the recent success of language representation learning. Knowledge distillation, a major technique for deploying such a vast language model in resource-scarce…

Multilingual speech data often suffer from long-tailed language distribution, resulting in performance degradation. However, multilingual text data is much easier to obtain, yielding a more useful general language model. Hence, we are…

Connectionist temporal classification (CTC) -based models are attractive because of their fast inference in automatic speech recognition (ASR). Language model (LM) integration approaches such as shallow fusion and rescoring can improve the…

Context-aware processing mechanisms have increasingly become a critical area of exploration for improving the semantic and contextual capabilities of language generation models. The Context-Aware Semantic Recomposition Mechanism (CASRM) was…

Recently, the advance in deep learning has brought a considerable improvement in the end-to-end speech recognition field, simplifying the traditional pipeline while producing promising results. Among the end-to-end models, the connectionist…

Conventional automatic speech recognition (ASR) models typically produce outputs as normalized texts lacking punctuation and capitalization, necessitating post-processing models to enhance readability. This approach, however, introduces…

Attention-based sequence-to-sequence automatic speech recognition (ASR) requires a significant delay to recognize long utterances because the output is generated after receiving entire input sequences. Although several studies recently…
