2024While word error rates of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems have consistently fallen, natural language understanding (NLU) applications built on top of ASR systems still attribute significant numbers of failures to low-quality speech recognition results. Existing assistant systems collect large numbers of these unsuccessful interactions, but these systems usually fail to learn from these interactions

2024In this work, we propose a novel sequence-discriminative training criterion for automatic speech recognition (ASR) based on the Conformer Transducer. Inspired by the large-margin classifier framework, we separate the “good” and the “bad” hypotheses in an N-best list produced from a pre-trained transducer model by a margin (τ ), hence the term, Max-Margin Transducer (MMT) loss. It is observed that fine-tuning

2024Speech codec enhancement methods are designed to remove distortions added by speech codecs. While classical methods are very low in complexity and add zero delay, their effectiveness is rather limited. Compared to that, DNN-based methods deliver higher quality but they are typically high in complexity and/or require delay. The recently proposed Linear Adaptive Coding Enhancer (LACE) addresses this problem

2024The traditional cascading Entity Resolution (ER) pipeline suffers from propagated errors from upstream tasks. We address this issue by formulating a new end-to-end (E2E) ER problem, Signal-to-Entity (S2E), resolving query entity mentions to actionable entities in textual catalogs directly from audio queries instead of audio transcriptions in raw or parsed format. Additionally, we extend the E2E Spoken Language

2024Automated speaker identification (SID) is a crucial step for the per-sonalization of a wide range of speech-enabled services. Typical SID systems use a symmetric enrollment-verification framework with a single model to derive embeddings both offline for voice profiles extracted from enrollment utterances, and online from runtime utter-ances. Due to the distinct circumstances of enrollment and runtime, such
