• Abstract summary: We propose a novel adversarial reprogramming (AR) approach for low-resource spoken command recognition (SCR) The AR procedure aims to modify the acoustic signals (from the target domain) to repurpose a pretrained SCR model. We evaluate the proposed AR-SCR system on three low-resource SCR datasets, including Arabic, Lithuanian, and dysarthric Mandarin speech.

• Abstract: In this study, we propose a novel adversarial reprogramming (AR) approach for low-resource spoken command recognition (SCR), and build an AR-SCR system. The AR procedure aims to modify the acoustic signals (from the target domain) to repurpose a pretrained SCR model (from the source domain). To solve the label mismatches between source and target domains, and further improve the stability of AR, we propose a novel similarity-based label mapping technique to align classes. In addition, the transfer learning (TL) technique is combined with the original AR process to improve the model adaptation capability. We evaluate the proposed AR-SCR system on three low-resource SCR datasets, including Arabic, Lithuanian, and dysarthric Mandarin speech. Experimental results show that with a pretrained AM trained on a large-scale English dataset, the proposed AR-SCR system outperforms the current state-of-the-art results on Arabic and Lithuanian speech commands datasets, with only a limited amount of training data.

• An Approach to Improve Robustness of NLP Systems against ASR Errors [39.57253455717825]
  Speech-enabled systems typically first convert audio to text through an automatic speech recognition model and then feed the text to downstream natural language processing modules. The errors of the ASR system can seriously downgrade the performance of the NLP modules. Previous work has shown it is effective to employ data augmentation methods to solve this problem by injecting ASR noise during the training process.
