In this paper, we explore the use of adversarial examples for improving a neural network based keyword spotting (KWS) system. Specially, in our system, an effective and small-footprint attention-based neural network model is used. Adversarial example is defined as a misclassified example by a model,…
This paper proposes an attention-based neural network approach for single channel speech enhancement. Our work is inspired by the recent success of attention models in sequence-to-sequence learning. It is intuitive to use attention mechanism in speech enhancement as humans are able to focus on the i…
Recently, attention-based end-to-end automatic speech recognition system (ASR) has shown promising results. One of the limitations of an attention-based ASR system is that its language model (LM) component has to be implicitly learned from transcribed speech data which prevents one from uti-lizing p…
Code-switching is a common phenomenon in many multilingual communities and presents a challenge to automatic speech recognition (ASR). In this paper, three approaches are investigated to improve end-to-end speech recognition on Mandarin-English code-switching task. First, multi-task learning (MTL) i…
Recently, there has been a growing interest in end-to-end speech recognition that directly transcribes speech to text without any predefined alignments. In this paper, we explore the use of attention-based encoder-decoder model for Mandarin speech recognition on a voice search task. Previous attempt…
