Topic modeling is a dominant method for exploring document collections on the web and in digital libraries. Recent approaches to topic modeling use pretrained contextualized language models and variational autoencoders. However, large…

Device-directed speech detection (DDSD) is a binary classification task that separates the user's queries to a voice assistant (VA) from background speech or side conversations. This is important for achieving naturalistic user experience.…

Semi-supervised domain adaptation (SSDA) is to adapt a learner to a new domain with only a small set of labeled samples when a large labeled dataset is given on a source domain. In this paper, we propose a pair-based SSDA method that adapts…

This paper addresses the challenges of high computational cost and slow inference in deploying large language models. It proposes a distillation strategy guided by multiple teacher models. The method constructs several teacher models and…

Generalization Performance of Deep Learning models trained using Empirical Risk Minimization can be improved significantly by using Data Augmentation strategies such as simple transformations, or using Mixed Samples. We attempt to…

In many automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks, an ideal model has to be applicable over multiple domains. In this paper, we propose to teach an all-rounder with experts in different domains. Concretely, we build a multi-domain acoustic…

Streaming automatic speech recognition (ASR) models are restricted from accessing future context, which results in worse performance compared to the non-streaming models. To improve the performance of streaming ASR, knowledge distillation…

Knowledge Distillation is an effective method of transferring knowledge from a large model to a smaller model. Distillation can be viewed as a type of model compression, and has played an important role for on-device ASR applications. In…

Knowledge distillation is a common technique for improving the performance of a shallow student network by transferring information from a teacher network, which in general, is comparatively large and deep. These teacher networks are…

Due to the scarcity of publicly available diarization data, the model performance can be improved by training a single model with data from different domains. In this work, we propose to incorporate domain information to train a single…

Model distillation enables the transfer of knowledge from large-scale models to compact student models, facilitating deployment in resource-constrained environments. However, conventional distillation approaches often suffer from…

Domain generalization methods aim to learn models robust to domain shift with data from a limited number of source domains and without access to target domain samples during training. Popular domain alignment methods for domain…

Arabic is known to present unique challenges for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). On one hand, its rich linguistic diversity and wide range of dialects complicate the development of robust, inclusive models. On the other, current…

Lack of specialized data makes building a multi-domain neural machine translation tool challenging. Although emerging literature dealing with low resource languages starts to show promising results, most state-of-the-art models used…

Knowledge distillation aims to compress a powerful yet cumbersome teacher model into a lightweight student model without much sacrifice of performance. For this purpose, various approaches have been proposed over the past few years,…

Knowledge distillation is an effective approach to learn compact models (students) with the supervision of large and strong models (teachers). As empirically there exists a strong correlation between the performance of teacher and student…

Knowledge distillation methods have recently shown to be a promising direction to speedup the synthesis of large-scale diffusion models by requiring only a few inference steps. While several powerful distillation methods were recently…

Current state-of-the-art object detectors are at the expense of high computational costs and are hard to deploy to low-end devices. Knowledge distillation, which aims at training a smaller student network by transferring knowledge from a…

In order to improve the performance for far-field speech recognition, this paper proposes to distill knowledge from the close-talking model to the far-field model using parallel data. The close-talking model is called the teacher model. The…

Self-supervised pre-training is an effective approach to leveraging a large amount of unlabelled data to reduce word error rates (WERs) of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. Since it is impractical to use large pre-trained models…
