• Authors: Shaoshi Ling, Guoli Ye, Rui Zhao, Yifan Gong,
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel attention-based encoder-decoder (HAED) speech recognition model. Our model separates the acoustic and language models, allowing for the use of conventional text-based language model adaptation techniques. We demonstrate that the proposed HAED model yields 23% relative Word Error Rate (WER) improvements when out-of-domain text data is used for language model adaptation.

• Abstract: The attention-based encoder-decoder (AED) speech recognition model has been widely successful in recent years. However, the joint optimization of acoustic model and language model in end-to-end manner has created challenges for text adaptation. In particular, effective, quick and inexpensive adaptation with text input has become a primary concern for deploying AED systems in the industry. To address this issue, we propose a novel model, the hybrid attention-based encoder-decoder (HAED) speech recognition model that preserves the modularity of conventional hybrid automatic speech recognition systems. Our HAED model separates the acoustic and language models, allowing for the use of conventional text-based language model adaptation techniques. We demonstrate that the proposed HAED model yields 23% relative Word Error Rate (WER) improvements when out-of-domain text data is used for language model adaptation, with only a minor degradation in WER on a general test set compared with the conventional AED model.

  We propose a novel model, factorized neural Transducer, by factorizing the blank and vocabulary prediction. It is expected that this factorization can transfer the improvement of the standalone language model to the Transducer for speech recognition. We demonstrate that the proposed factorized neural Transducer yields 15% to 20% WER improvements when out-of-domain text data is used for language model adaptation.

  Sequence-to-sequence models with an implicit alignment mechanism (e.g. attention) are closing the performance gap towards traditional hybrid hidden Markov models (HMM) One important factor to improve word error rate in both cases is the use of an external language model (LM) trained on large text-only corpora. We present a novel method for language model integration into implicit-alignment based sequence-to-sequence models.

  A two-pass model has been proposed to rescore streamed hypotheses using the non-streaming Listen, Attend and Spell (LAS) model. The model attends to acoustics to rescore hypotheses, as opposed to a class of neural correction models that use only first-pass text hypotheses. A bidirectional encoder is used to extract context information from first-pass hypotheses.
