In this study, we aim to explore Multitask Speech Language Model (SpeechLM) efficient inference via token reduction. Unlike other modalities such as vision or text, speech has unique temporal dependencies, making previous efficient…

The increasing demand for long-context modeling in large language models (LLMs) is bottlenecked by the quadratic complexity of the standard self-attention mechanism. The community has proposed sparse attention to mitigate this issue.…

Efficient high-performance libraries often expose multiple tunable parameters to provide highly optimized routines. These can range from simple loop unroll factors or vector sizes all the way to algorithmic changes, given that some…

This work proposes a grammar-based chunking strategy that segments input streams into semantically complete units by parsing dependency relations (e.g., noun phrase boundaries, verb-object structures) and punctuation features. The method…

We present PAST, a novel end-to-end framework that jointly models phonetic information alongside signal reconstruction, eliminating the need for external pretrained models. Unlike previous approaches that rely on pretrained self-supervised…

Recently, Flat-LAttice Transformer (FLAT) has achieved great success in Chinese Named Entity Recognition (NER). FLAT performs lexical enhancement by constructing flat lattices, which mitigates the difficulties posed by blurred word…

Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate strong task-specific capabilities through fine-tuning, but merging multiple fine-tuned models often leads to degraded performance due to overlapping instruction-following components. Task Arithmetic…

Full-parameter fine-tuning of large language models is constrained by substantial GPU memory requirements. Low-rank adaptation methods mitigate this challenge by updating only a subset of parameters. However, these approaches often limit…

Deploying Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models on memory-constrained edge devices requires aggressive low-bit weight quantization. Layer-wise post-training quantization is practical and effective, but it suffers from cross-layer error…

We describe initial work on an extension of the Kaldi toolkit that supports weighted finite-state transducer (WFST) decoding on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). We implement token recombination as an atomic GPU operation in order to fully…

Recent advances in transformer-based Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across various tasks. However, their quadratic computational complexity concerning sequence length remains a significant bottleneck…

Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is the primary recurrent neural networks architecture for acoustic modeling in automatic speech recognition systems. Residual learning is an efficient method to help neural networks converge easier and faster.…

In this paper, we tackle the new Language-Based Audio Retrieval task proposed in DCASE 2022. Firstly, we introduce a simple, scalable architecture which ties both the audio and text encoder together. Secondly, we show that using this…

End-to-end models for robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) have not been sufficiently well-explored in prior work. With end-to-end models, one could choose to preprocess the input speech using speech enhancement techniques and train…

We describe here our work with automatic speech recognition (ASR) in the context of voice search functionality on the Flipkart e-Commerce platform. Starting with the deep learning architecture of Listen-Attend-Spell (LAS), we build upon and…

Extracting finite state automata (FSAs) from black-box models offers a powerful approach to gaining interpretable insights into complex model behaviors. To support this pursuit, we present a weighted variant of Angluin's (1987)…

In the broadcast domain there is an abundance of related text data and partial transcriptions, such as closed captions and subtitles. This text data can be used for lightly supervised training, in which text matching the audio is selected…

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly expected to tackle complex tasks, driven by their expanding applications and users' growing proficiency in crafting sophisticated prompts. However, as the number of explicitly stated…

In this paper the author proposes to use the Least Squares Lattice filter with forgetting factor to estimate time-varying parameters of the model for noise processes. We simulated an Auto-Regressive (AR) noise process in which we let the…

We investigate the effectiveness of using a large ensemble of advanced neural language models (NLMs) for lattice rescoring on automatic speech recognition (ASR) hypotheses. Previous studies have reported the effectiveness of combining a…
