• Abstract: A lot of work has been done to build text-based language models for performing different NLP tasks, but not much research has been done in the case of audio-based language models. This paper proposes a Convolutional Autoencoder based neural architecture to model syntactically and semantically adequate contextualized representations of varying length spoken words. The use of such representations can not only lead to great advances in the audio-based NLP tasks but can also curtail the loss of information like tone, expression, accent, etc while converting speech to text to perform these tasks. The performance of the proposed model is validated by (1) examining the generated vector space, and (2) evaluating its performance on three benchmark datasets for measuring word similarities, against existing widely used text-based language models that are trained on the transcriptions. The proposed model was able to demonstrate its robustness when compared to the other two language-based models.

  We introduce the generative speech transcription error correction (GenSEC) challenge.

  Recent work on speech representation models jointly pre-trained with text has demonstrated the potential of improving speech representations. We leverage such shared representations to address the persistent challenge of limited data availability in spoken language understanding tasks. By employing a pre-trained speech-text model, we find that models fine-tuned on text can be effectively transferred to speech testing data.

  VioLA is a single auto-regressive Transformer decoder-only network that unifies various cross-modal tasks involving speech and text. We first convert all the speech utterances to discrete tokens using an offline neural encoder. We further integrate task IDs (TID) and language IDs (LID) into the proposed model to enhance the modeling capability of handling different languages and tasks.

  We investigate text generation and injection for improving the performance of an industry commonly-used streaming model, Transformer-Transducer (T-T) We first propose a strategy to generate code-switching text data and then investigate injecting generated text into T-T model explicitly by Text-To-Speech (TTS) conversion or implicitly by tying speech and text latent spaces. Experimental results on the T-T model trained with a dataset containing 1,800 hours of real Mandarin-English code-switched speech show that our approaches to inject generated code-switching text significantly boost the performance of T-T models.

  We introduce BenchCLAMP, a Benchmark to evaluate Constrained LAnguage Model Parsing. We benchmark eight language models, including two GPT-3 variants available only through an API. Our experiments show that encoder-decoder pretrained language models can achieve similar performance or surpass state-of-the-art methods for syntactic and semantic parsing when the model output is constrained to be valid.

  End-to-end speech translation aims to translate speech in one language into text in another language via an end-to-end way. Most existing methods employ an encoder-decoder structure with a single encoder to learn acoustic representation and semantic information simultaneously. We propose a Speech-to-Text Adaptation for Speech Translation model which aims to improve the end-to-end model performance by bridging the modality gap between speech and text.
