• Abstract summary: We propose an adaptive LM fusion approach called internal language model estimation based adaptive domain adaptation (ILME-ADA) We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed ILME-ADA method with both RNN-T and LAS modeling frameworks employing neural network and n-gram LMs as ELMs respectively on two domain specific (target) test sets.

• Abstract: ASR model deployment environment is ever-changing, and the incoming speech can be switched across different domains during a session. This brings a challenge for effective domain adaptation when only target domain text data is available, and our objective is to obtain obviously improved performance on the target domain while the performance on the general domain is less undermined. In this paper, we propose an adaptive LM fusion approach called internal language model estimation based adaptive domain adaptation (ILME-ADA). To realize such an ILME-ADA, an interpolated log-likelihood score is calculated based on the maximum of the scores from the internal LM and the external LM (ELM) respectively. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed ILME-ADA method with both RNN-T and LAS modeling frameworks employing neural network and n-gram LMs as ELMs respectively on two domain specific (target) test sets. The proposed method can achieve significantly better performance on the target test sets while it gets minimal performance degradation on the general test set, compared with both shallow and ILME-based LM fusion methods.

In our IDA model, the class-level performance is tracked by an expected confidence score (ECS) and we then use a dynamic schedule to determine the mixing ratio for data in different domains. Our proposed method is able to outperform the state-of-the-art UDA-SS method by a margin of 1.1 mIoU in the adaptation of GTA-V to Cityscapes and of 0.9 mIoU in the adaptation of SYNTHIA to City
