We address the problem of speech act recognition (SAR) in asynchronous conversations (forums, emails). Unlike synchronous conversations (e.g., meetings, phone), asynchronous domains lack large labeled datasets to train an effective SAR…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems generate real-time transcriptions but often miss nuances that human interpreters capture. While ASR is useful in many contexts, interpreters-who already use ASR tools such as Dragon-add critical…

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…

Adapting pre-trained text Large Language Models (LLMs) into Speech Language Models (Speech LMs) via continual pretraining on speech data is promising, but often degrades the original text capabilities. We propose Multimodal Depth Upscaling,…

Classroom speech and lectures often contain named entities (NEs) such as names of people and special terminology. While automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems have achieved remarkable performance on general speech, the word error rate…

Large language model (LLM)-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) has recently achieved strong performance across diverse tasks, yet contextual biasing for named entities and hotwords under large vocabularies remains challenging. In this…

We present a new end-to-end architecture for automatic speech recognition (ASR) that can be trained using \emph{symbolic} input in addition to the traditional acoustic input. This architecture utilizes two separate encoders: one for…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) models make fewer errors when more surrounding speech information is presented as context. Unfortunately, acquiring a larger future context leads to higher latency. There exists an inevitable trade-off…

In this work, we propose a new automatic speech recognition (ASR) system based on feature learning and an end-to-end training procedure for air traffic control (ATC) systems. The proposed model integrates the feature learning block,…

This paper presents a transfer learning method in speech emotion recognition based on a Time-Delay Neural Network (TDNN) architecture. A major challenge in the current speech-based emotion detection research is data scarcity. The proposed…

Recent advancements in integrating speech information into large language models (LLMs) have significantly improved automatic speech recognition (ASR) accuracy. However, existing methods often constrained by the capabilities of the speech…

Large language models have proven themselves highly flexible, able to solve a wide range of generative tasks, such as abstractive summarization and open-ended question answering. In this paper we extend the capabilities of LLMs by directly…

Practitioners often need to build ASR systems for new use cases in a short amount of time, given limited in-domain data. While recently developed end-to-end methods largely simplify the modeling pipelines, they still suffer from the data…

ASR models often suffer from a long-form deletion problem where the model predicts sequential blanks instead of words when transcribing a lengthy audio (in the order of minutes or hours). From the perspective of a user or downstream system…

The advent of Large Language Models (LLM) has reformed the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). Prompting LLM with audio embeddings to generate transcriptions becomes the new state-of-the-art ASR. Despite LLMs being trained with an extensive…

Despite extensions to speech inputs, effectively leveraging the rich knowledge and contextual understanding of large language models (LLMs) in automatic speech recognition (ASR) remains non-trivial, as the task primarily involves direct…

Recent advancement in deep learning encouraged developing large automatic speech recognition (ASR) models that achieve promising results while ignoring computational and memory constraints. However, deploying such models on low resource…

Many of the existing TTS systems cannot accurately synthesize text containing a variety of numerical formats, resulting in reduced intelligibility of the synthesized speech. This research aims to develop a numerical format classifier that…

In end-to-end automatic speech recognition system, one of the difficulties for language expansion is the limited paired speech and text training data. In this paper, we propose a novel method to generate augmented samples with unpaired…

Sequence-to-sequence models have been widely used in end-to-end speech processing, for example, automatic speech recognition (ASR), speech translation (ST), and text-to-speech (TTS). This paper focuses on an emergent sequence-to-sequence…
