Improved Data Selection for Domain Adaptation in ASR

ICASSP 2021accepted

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are highly sensitive to train-test domain mismatch. However, because transcription is often prohibitively expensive, it is important to be able to make use of available transcribed out-of-domain data. We address the problem of domain adaptation with semi-su…

Optimizing Multilingual Knowledge Transfer for Time-Delay Neural Networks with Low-Rank Factorization

ICASSP 2018accepted

When producing speech-to-text (STT) systems on a lower resource language, it is often beneficial to use knowledge obtained from a significantly larger multilingual dataset. We have seen benefits from using a multilingual TDNN as initialization for training an acoustic model on a target low resource…

Large-scale speaker search using PLDA on mismatched conditions

ICASSP 2015accepted

Recent work reported on fast speaker search over large speech data corpora has focused on using locality sensitive hashing (LSH) search with hashing functions approximating i-vector based cosine distances (CosDist) for model comparisons. Because of the superior performance of probabilistic linear di…
