• Abstract: Neural network language model (NNLM) plays an essential role in automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, especially in adaptation tasks when text-only data is available. In practice, an NNLM is typically trained on a combination of data sampled from multiple corpora. Thus, the data sampling strategy is important to the adaptation performance. Most existing works focus on designing static sampling strategies. However, each corpus may show varying impacts at different NNLM training stages. In this paper, we introduce a novel adaptive multi-corpora training algorithm that dynamically learns and adjusts the sampling probability of each corpus along the training process. The algorithm is robust to corpora sizes and domain relevance. Compared with static sampling strategy baselines, the proposed approach yields remarkable improvement by achieving up to relative 7% and 9% word error rate (WER) reductions on in-domain and out-of-domain adaptation tasks, respectively.

  We introduce Feasible Learning (FL), a sample-centric learning paradigm where models are trained by solving a feasibility problem that bounds the loss for each training sample. Our empirical analysis, spanning image classification, age regression, and preference optimization in large language models, demonstrates that models trained via FL can learn from data while displaying improved tail behavior compared to ERM, with only a marginal impact on average performance.

  Adapting speaker recognition systems to new environments is a widely-used technique to improve a well-performing model. Previous studies focus on single domain adaptation, which neglects a more practical scenario where training data are collected from multiple acoustic domains. Three novel adaptation methods are proposed to further promote adaptation performance across multiple acoustic domains.

  Imbalanced learning is a fundamental challenge in data mining, where there is a disproportionate ratio of training samples in each class. Over-sampling is an effective technique to tackle imbalanced learning through generating synthetic samples for the minority class. We propose AutoSMOTE, an automated over-sampling algorithm that can jointly optimize different levels of decisions.
