• Abstract: In this work, we devise a parameter-efficient solution to bring differential privacy (DP) guarantees into adaptation of a cross-lingual speech classifier. We investigate a new frozen pre-trained adaptation framework for DP-preserving speech modeling without full model fine-tuning. First, we introduce a noisy teacher-student ensemble into a conventional adaptation scheme leveraging a frozen pre-trained acoustic model and attain superior performance than DP-based stochastic gradient descent (DPSGD). Next, we insert residual adapters (RA) between layers of the frozen pre-trained acoustic model. The RAs reduce training cost and time significantly with a negligible performance drop. Evaluated on the open-access Multilingual Spoken Words (MLSW) dataset, our solution reduces the number of trainable parameters by 97.5% using the RAs with only a 4% performance drop with respect to fine-tuning the cross-lingual speech classifier while preserving DP guarantees.

  We pretrain a long short-term memory (LSTM)-encoder using the autoregressive predictive coding framework. We also propose a denoising variant of APC, with the goal of improving the robustness of personalized VAD. Our experiments show that self-supervised pretraining not only improves performance in clean conditions, but also yields models which are more robust to adverse conditions.

  We introduce sparse low-rank adaptation (SoRA) that enables dynamic adjustments to the intrinsic rank during the adaptation process. Our approach strengthens the representation power of LoRA by initializing it with a higher rank, while efficiently taming a temporarily increased number of parameters. Our experimental results demonstrate that SoRA can outperform other baselines even with 70% retained parameters and 70% training time.

  We propose a neural language modeling system based on low-rank adaptation (LoRA) for speech recognition output rescoring. We present a method based on low-rank decomposition to train a rescoring BERT model and adapt it to new domains using only a fraction of the pretrained parameters. The proposed low-rank adaptation Rescore-BERT (LoRB) architecture is evaluated on LibriSpeech and internal datasets with decreased training times by factors between 5.4 and 3.6.

• An Ensemble Teacher-Student Learning Approach with Poisson Sub-sampling to Differential Privacy Preserving Speech Recognition [51.20130423303659]
  We propose an ensemble learning framework with Poisson sub-sampling to train a collection of teacher models to issue some differential privacy (DP) guarantee for training data. Through boosting under DP, a student model derived from the training data suffers little model degradation from the models trained with no privacy protection. Our proposed solution leverages upon two mechanisms, namely: (i) a privacy budget amplification via Poisson sub-sampling to train a target prediction model that requires less noise to achieve a same level of privacy budget, and (ii) a combination of the sub-sampling technique and an ensemble teacher-student learning framework.

  We propose a unified speaker adaptation approach consisting of feature adaptation and model adaptation. For feature adaptation, we employ a speaker-aware persistent memory model which generalizes better to unseen test speakers. For model adaptation, we use a novel gradual pruning method to adapt to target speakers without changing the model architecture.

  A key task for speech recognition systems is to reduce the mismatch between training and evaluation data that is often attributable to speaker differences. Model-based speaker adaptation approaches often require sufficient amounts of target speaker data to ensure robustness. This paper proposes a full Bayesian learning based DNN speaker adaptation framework to model speaker-dependent (SD) parameter uncertainty.
