Interspeech 20222022Conversational agents commonly utilize keyword spotting (KWS) to initiate voice interaction with the user. For user experience and privacy considerations, existing approaches to KWS largely focus on accuracy, which can often come at the expense of introduced latency. To address this tradeoff, we propose a novel approach to control KWS model latency and which generalizes to any loss function without explicit

L2-GEN: A neural phoneme paraphrasing approach to L2 speech synthesis for mispronunciation diagnosisInterspeech 20222022In this paper, we study the problem of generating mispronounced speech mimicking non-native (L2) speakers learning English as a Second Language (ESL) for the mispronunciation detection and diagnosis (MDD) task. The paper is motivated by the widely observed yet not well addressed data sparsity issue in MDD research where both L2 speech audio and its fine-grained phonetic annotations are difficult to obtain

ECML-PKDD 20222022Related product recommendation (RPR) is pivotal to the success of any e-commerce service. In this paper, we deal with the problem of recommending related products i.e., given a query product, we would like to suggest top-k products that have high likelihood to be bought together with it. Our problem implicitly assumes asymmetry i.e., for a phone, we would like to recommend a suitable phone case, but for

Interspeech 20222022The recurrent neural network transducer (RNN-T) is a prominent streaming end-to-end (E2E) ASR technology. In RNN-T, the acoustic encoder commonly consists of stacks of LSTMs. Very recently, as an alternative to LSTM layers, the Conformer architecture was introduced where the encoder of RNN-T is replaced with a modified Transformer encoder composed of convolutional layers at the frontend and between attention

Interspeech 20222022We address performance fairness for speaker verification using the adversarial reweighting (ARW) method. ARW is reformulated for speaker verification with metric learning, and shown to improve results across different subgroups of gender and nationality, without requiring annotation of subgroups in the training data. An adversarial network learns a weight for each training sample in the batch so that the
