ICASSP 20222022Dialogue act classification (DAC) is a critical task for spoken language understanding in dialogue systems. Prosodic features such as energy and pitch have been shown to be useful for DAC. Despite their importance, little research has explored neural approaches to integrate prosodic features into end-to-end (E2E) DAC models which infer dialogue acts directly from audio signals. In this work, we propose

ICASSP 20222022Personal rare word recognition in end-to-end Automatic Speech Recognition (E2E ASR) models is a challenge due to the lack of training data. A standard way to address this issue is with shallow fusion methods at inference time. However, due to their dependence on external language models and the deterministic approach to weight boosting, their performance is limited. In this paper, we propose training neural

ICASSP 20222022Federated Learning (FL) applied to real world data may suffer from several idiosyncrasies. One such idiosyncrasy is the data distribution across devices. Data across devices could be distributed such that there are some “heavy devices” with large amounts of data while there are many “light users” with only a handful of data points. There also exists heterogeneity of data across devices. In this study, we

ICASSP 20222022End-to-end Spoken Language Understanding (E2E SLU) has attracted increasing interest due to its advantages of joint optimization and low latency when compared to traditionally cascaded pipelines. Existing E2E SLU models usually follow a two-stage configuration where an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) network first predicts a transcript which is then passed to a Natural Language Understanding (NLU) module

ICASSP 20222022Acoustic events have a hierarchical structure analogous to a tree (or a directed acyclic graph). In this work, we propose a structure-aware semi-supervised learning framework for acoustic event classification (AEC). Our hypothesis is that the audio label structure contains useful information that is not available in audios and plain tags. We show that by organizing audio representations with a human-curated
