Dynamic ASR Pathways: An Adaptive Masking Approach Towards Efficient Pruning of a Multilingual ASR Model

Neural network pruning offers an effective method for compressing a multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR) model with minimal performance loss. However, it entails several rounds of pruning and re-training needed to be run for each language. In this work, we propose the use of an adaptive m…
