Recent studies of streaming automatic speech recognition (ASR) recurrent neural network transducer (RNN-T)-based systems have fed the encoder with past contextual information in order to improve its word error rate (WER) performance. In…

Having a sequence-to-sequence model which can operate in an online fashion is important for streaming applications such as Voice Search. Neural transducer is a streaming sequence-to-sequence model, but has shown a significant degradation in…

Neural transducer-based systems such as RNN Transducers (RNN-T) for automatic speech recognition (ASR) blend the individual components of a traditional hybrid ASR systems (acoustic model, language model, punctuation model, inverse text…

Target-speaker speech recognition aims to recognize target-speaker speech from noisy environments with background noise and interfering speakers. This work presents a joint framework that combines time-domain target-speaker speech…

We propose Chunk-wise Attention Transducer (CHAT), a novel extension to RNN-T models that processes audio in fixed-size chunks while employing cross-attention within each chunk. This hybrid approach maintains RNN-T's streaming capability…

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have shown significant improvements in recent years for speech enhancement. However, the model complexity and inference time cost of RNNs are much higher than deep feed-forward neural networks (DNNs).…

End-to-end (E2E) models fold the acoustic, pronunciation and language models of a conventional speech recognition model into one neural network with a much smaller number of parameters than a conventional ASR system, thus making it suitable…

End-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR), unlike conventional ASR, does not have modules to learn the semantic representation from speech encoder. Moreover, the higher frame-rate of speech representation prevents the model to learn the…

An inferior performance of the streaming automatic speech recognition models versus non-streaming model is frequently seen due to the absence of future context. In order to improve the performance of the streaming model and reduce the…

Due to the highly parallelizable architecture, Transformer is faster to train than RNN-based models and popularly used in machine translation tasks. However, at inference time, each output word requires all the hidden states of the…
