End-to-end speech translation poses a heavy burden on the encoder, because it has to transcribe, understand, and learn cross-lingual semantics simultaneously. To obtain a powerful encoder, traditional methods pre-train it on ASR data to…

The goal of multilingual speech technology is to facilitate seamless communication between individuals speaking different languages, creating the experience as though everyone were a multilingual speaker. To create this experience, speech…

Recent studies on end-to-end speech translation(ST) have facilitated the exploration of multilingual end-to-end ST and end-to-end simultaneous ST. In this paper, we investigate end-to-end simultaneous speech translation in a one-to-many…

The advances in attention-based encoder-decoder (AED) networks have brought great progress to end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR). One way to further improve the performance of AED-based E2E ASR is to introduce an extra text…

With the advances in deep learning, the performance of end-to-end (E2E) single-task models for speech and audio processing has been constantly improving. However, it is still challenging to build a general-purpose model with high…

Self-supervised learning (SSL) has helped extend speech technologies to more languages by reducing the need for labeled data. However, models are still far from supporting the world's 7000+ languages. We propose XEUS, a Cross-lingual…

While FastSpeech2 aims to integrate aspects of speech such as pitch, energy, and duration as conditional inputs, it still leaves scope for richer representations. As a part of this work, we leverage representations from various…

Conventional automatic speaker verification systems can usually be decomposed into a front-end model such as time delay neural network (TDNN) for extracting speaker embeddings and a back-end model such as statistics-based probabilistic…

Speech-to-text translation (ST), which translates source language speech into target language text, has attracted intensive attention in recent years. Compared to the traditional pipeline system, the end-to-end ST model has potential…

This paper proposes a decoding strategy for end-to-end simultaneous speech translation. We leverage end-to-end models trained in offline mode and conduct an empirical study for two language pairs (English-to-German and…

End-to-end simultaneous speech translation (SST), which directly translates speech in one language into text in another language in real-time, is useful in many scenarios but has not been fully investigated. In this work, we propose…

Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) measures the meaning similarity of sentences. Applications include machine translation (MT), summarization, generation, question answering (QA), short answer grading, semantic search, dialog and…

Code-switching (CS) is the alternating use of two or more languages within a conversation or utterance, often influenced by social context and speaker identity. This linguistic phenomenon poses challenges for Automatic Speech Recognition…

Recent studies have made some progress in refining end-to-end (E2E) speech recognition encoders by applying Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) loss to enhance named entity recognition within transcriptions. However, these methods…

Speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) enables spoken communication between people talking in different languages. Despite a few studies on multilingual S2ST, their focus is the multilinguality on the source side, i.e., the translation from…

Research on hate speech has predominantly revolved around detection and interpretation from textual inputs, leaving verbal content largely unexplored. While there has been limited exploration into hate speech detection within verbal…

In self-supervised learning, it is challenging to reduce the gap between the enhancement performance on the estimated and target speech signals with existed pre-tasks. In this paper, we propose a multi-task pre-training method to improve…

We study training a single end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR) model for three languages used in Kazakhstan: Kazakh, Russian, and English. We first describe the development of multilingual E2E ASR based on Transformer…

In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective framework for multilingual end-to-end speech translation (ST), in which speech utterances in source languages are directly translated to the desired target languages with a universal…

Language model pre-training has shown promising results in various downstream tasks. In this context, we introduce a cross-modal pre-trained language model, called Speech-Text BERT (ST-BERT), to tackle end-to-end spoken language…
