Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a key element in new services that helps users to interact with an automated system. Deep learning methods have made it possible to deploy systems with word error rates below 5% for ASR of English.…

End-to-end (E2E) multi-channel ASR systems show state-of-the-art performance in far-field ASR tasks by joint training of a multi-channel front-end along with the ASR model. The main limitation of such systems is that they are usually…

This paper presents a method for selecting appropriate synthetic speech samples from a given large text-to-speech (TTS) dataset as supplementary training data for an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model. We trained a neural network,…

In recent years, the accuracy of automatic lyrics alignment methods has increased considerably. Yet, many current approaches employ frameworks designed for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and do not exploit properties specific to music.…

We propose autoencoding speaker conversion for training data augmentation in automatic speech translation. This technique directly transforms an audio sequence, resulting in audio synthesized to resemble another speaker's voice. Our method…

Deep learning based singing voice synthesis (SVS) systems have been demonstrated to flexibly generate singing with better qualities, compared to conventional statistical parametric based methods. However, neural systems are generally…

End-to-end Speech Translation is hindered by a lack of available data resources. While most of them are based on documents, a sentence-level version is available, which is however single and static, potentially impeding the usefulness of…

In Neural Machine Translation (NMT), data augmentation methods such as back-translation have proven their effectiveness in improving translation performance. In this paper, we propose a novel data augmentation approach for NMT, which is…

Data augmentations are known to improve robustness in speech-processing tasks. In this study, we summarize and compare different data augmentation strategies using S3PRL toolkit. We explore how HuBERT and wav2vec perform using different…

Self-supervised representation learning (SSRL) has demonstrated superior performance than supervised models for tasks including phoneme recognition. Training SSRL models poses a challenge for low-resource languages where sufficient…

Whispering is a distinct form of speech known for its soft, breathy, and hushed characteristics, often used for private communication. The acoustic characteristics of whispered speech differ substantially from normally phonated speech and…

Building an accurate automatic speech recognition (ASR) system requires a large dataset that contains many hours of labeled speech samples produced by a diverse set of speakers. The lack of such open free datasets is one of the main issues…

End-to-end models have achieved significant improvement on automatic speech recognition. One common method to improve performance of these models is expanding the data-space through data augmentation. Meanwhile, human auditory inspired…

In this work, we present our submission to the Speech Accessibility Project challenge for dysarthric speech recognition. We integrate parameter-efficient fine-tuning with latent audio representations to improve an encoder-decoder ASR…

We show the performance of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems that use semi-supervised speech representations can be boosted by a complimentary pitch accent detection module, by introducing a joint ASR and pitch accent detection…

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…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) should serve every speaker, not only the majority ``standard'' speakers of a language. In order to build inclusive ASR, mitigating the bias against speaker groups who speak in a ``non-standard'' or…

Recently, SpecAugment, an augmentation scheme for automatic speech recognition that acts directly on the spectrogram of input utterances, has shown to be highly effective in enhancing the performance of end-to-end networks on public…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) for conversational code-switching speech remains challenging due to the scarcity of realistic, high-quality labeled speech data. This paper explores multilingual text-to-speech (TTS) models as an effective…

Training deep neural networks for automatic speech recognition (ASR) requires large amounts of transcribed speech. This becomes a bottleneck for training robust models for accented speech which typically contains high variability in…
