In this work, we propose a novel consistency-preserving loss function for recovering the phase information in the context of phase reconstruction (PR) and speech enhancement (SE). Different from conventional techniques that directly estimate the phase using a deep model, our idea is to exploit ad-ho…
We propose a novel approach to end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) to achieve efficient speech in-context learning (SICL) for (i) long-form speech decoding, (ii) test-time speaker adaptation, and (iii) test-time contextual biasing. Specifically, we introduce an attention-based encoder-deco…
We propose a first step toward multilingual end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) by integrating knowledge about speech articulators. The key idea is to leverage a rich set of fundamental units that can be defined "universally" across all spoken languages, referred to as speech attributes, n…
Diffusion models have recently shown promising results for difficult enhancement tasks such as the conditional and unconditional restoration of natural images and audio signals. In this work, we explore the possibility of leveraging a recently proposed advanced iterative diffusion model, namely cold…
In embedding-matching acoustic-to-word (A2W) ASR, every word in the vocabulary is represented by a fixed-dimension embedding vector that can be added or removed independently of the rest of the system. The approach is potentially an elegant solution for the dynamic out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words prob…
