Recent publications on automatic-speech-recognition (ASR) have a strong focus on attention encoder-decoder (AED) architectures which tend to suffer from over-fitting in low resource scenarios. One solution to tackle this issue is to…

Advancements in conversational systems have revolutionized information access, surpassing the limitations of single queries. However, developing dialogue systems requires a large amount of training data, which is a challenge in low-resource…

End-to-end automatic speech recognition often degrades on domain-specific data due to scarce in-domain resources. We propose a synthetic-data-based domain adaptation framework with two contributions: (1) a large language model (LLM)-based…

End-to-end models have shown superior performance for automatic speech recognition (ASR). However, such models are often very large in size and thus challenging to deploy on resource-constrained edge devices. While quantisation can reduce…

While deep learning based end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems have greatly simplified modeling pipelines, they suffer from the data sparsity issue. In this work, we propose a self-training method with an end-to-end system…

Data Augmentation (DA) is frequently used to provide additional training data without extra human annotation automatically. However, data augmentation may introduce noisy data that impairs training. To guarantee the quality of augmented…

Recently, deep neural network (DNN)-based speech enhancement (SE) systems have been used with great success. During training, such systems require clean speech data - ideally, in large quantity with a variety of acoustic conditions, many…

Self-supervised learning of speech representations has achieved impressive results in improving automatic speech recognition (ASR). In this paper, we show that data selection is important for self-supervised learning. We propose a simple…

Direct speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) models suffer from data scarcity issues as there exists little parallel S2ST data, compared to the amount of data available for conventional cascaded systems that consist of automatic speech…

As an essential branch of recommender systems, sequential recommendation (SR) has received much attention due to its well-consistency with real-world situations. However, the widespread data sparsity issue limits the SR model's performance.…

Text augmentation is a technique for constructing synthetic data from an under-resourced corpus to improve predictive performance. Synthetic data generation is common in numerous domains. However, recently text augmentation has emerged in…

Bias in speech emotion recognition (SER) systems often stems from spurious correlations between speaker characteristics and emotional labels, leading to unfair predictions across demographic groups. Many existing debiasing methods require…

Recent work has demonstrated that using parameter efficient tuning techniques such as prefix tuning (or P-tuning) on pretrained language models can yield performance that is comparable or superior to fine-tuning while dramatically reducing…

Personalization of automatic speech recognition (ASR) models is a widely studied topic because of its many practical applications. Most recently, attention-based contextual biasing techniques are used to improve the recognition of rare…

For automatic speech translation (AST), end-to-end approaches are outperformed by cascaded models that transcribe with automatic speech recognition (ASR), then translate with machine translation (MT). A major cause of the performance gap is…

We introduce DAS (Domain Adaptation with Synthetic data), a novel domain adaptation framework for pre-trained ASR model, designed to efficiently adapt to various language-defined domains without requiring any real data. In particular, DAS…

In this work, we exploit speech enhancement for improving a recurrent neural network transducer (RNN-T) based ASR system. We employ a dense convolutional recurrent network (DCRN) for complex spectral mapping based speech enhancement, and…

One critical issue of zero anaphora resolution (ZAR) is the scarcity of labeled data. This study explores how effectively this problem can be alleviated by data augmentation. We adopt a state-of-the-art data augmentation method, called the…

In this paper, we apply Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) along with Data Augmentation (DA) for improving the accuracy of End-to-End ASR. We focus on the consistency regularization principle, which has been successfully applied to image…

This paper proposes a novel linear prediction coding-based data aug-mentation method for children's low and zero resource dialect ASR. The data augmentation procedure consists of perturbing the formant peaks of the LPC spectrum during LPC…
