Visual speech recognition models extract visual features in a hierarchical manner. At the lower level, there is a visual front-end with a limited temporal receptive field that processes the raw pixels depicting the lips or faces. At the higher level, there is an encoder that attends to the embedding…
We introduce a multilingual speaker change detection model (USM-SCD) that can simultaneously detect speaker turns and perform ASR for 96 languages. This model is adapted from a speech foundation model trained on a large quantity of supervised and unsupervised data, demonstrating the utility of fine-…
Traditionally, audio-visual automatic speech recognition has been studied under the assumption that the speaking face on the visual signal is the face matching the audio. However, in a more realistic setting, when multiple faces are potentially on screen one needs to decide which face to feed to the…
We present a new architecture and a training strategy for an adaptive mixture of experts with applications to domain robust language modeling. The proposed model is designed to benefit from the scenario where the training data are available in diverse domains as is the case for YouTube speech recogn…
This paper describes a large scale exemplar-based acoustic modeling approach for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition. We construct an index of labeled training frames using high-level features extracted from the bottleneck layer of a deep neural network as indexing features. At recognitio…
