Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems have attained unprecedented performance with large speech models pre-trained based on self-supervised speech representation learning. However, these pre-trained speech models suffer from…

We consider the design of two-pass voice trigger detection systems. We focus on the networks in the second pass that are used to re-score candidate segments obtained from the first-pass. Our baseline is an acoustic model(AM), with BiLSTM…

Voice technology has become ubiquitous recently. However, the accuracy, and hence experience, in different languages varies significantly, which makes the technology not equally inclusive. The availability of data for different languages is…

Intermediate layer output (ILO) regularization by means of multitask training on encoder side has been shown to be an effective approach to yielding improved results on a wide range of end-to-end ASR frameworks. In this paper, we propose a…

This memo describes NTR/TSU winning submission for Low Resource ASR challenge at Dialog2021 conference, language identification track. Spoken Language Identification (LID) is an important step in a multilingual Automated Speech Recognition…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are strong decoders for Serialized Output Training (SOT) in two-talker Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), yet their performance degrades substantially in challenging conditions such as three-talker mixtures. A…

Training automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems requires large amounts of data in the target language in order to achieve good performance. Whereas large training corpora are readily available for languages like English, there exists a…
