Due to the recent advances of natural language processing, several works have applied the pre-trained masked language model (MLM) of BERT to the post-correction of speech recognition. However, existing pre-trained models only consider the semantic correction while the phonetic features of words is neglected. The semantic-only post-correction will consequently decrease the performance since homophonic errors are fairly common in Chinese ASR. In this paper, we proposed a novel approach to collectively exploit the contextualized representation and the phonetic information between the error and its replacing candidates to alleviate the error rate of Chinese ASR. Our experiment results on real world speech recognition datasets showed that our proposed method has evidently lower CER than the baseline model, which utilized a pre-trained BERT MLM as the corrector.

Due to the popularity of intelligent dialogue assistant services, speech emotion recognition has become more and more important. In the communication between humans and machines, emotion recognition and emotion analysis can enhance the interaction be tween machines and humans. This study uses the CNN+LSTM model to implement speech emotion recognition (SER) processing and prediction. From the experimental results, it is known that using the CNN+LSTM model achieves better performance than using the traditional NN model.
In this paper, we focus on improving the quality of the summary generated by neural abstractive dialogue summarization systems. Even though pre-trained language models generate well-constructed and promising results, it is still challenging to summar ize the conversation of multiple participants since the summary should include a description of the overall situation and the actions of each speaker. This paper proposes self-supervised strategies for speaker-focused post-correction in abstractive dialogue summarization. Specifically, our model first discriminates which type of speaker correction is required in a draft summary and then generates a revised summary according to the required type. Experimental results show that our proposed method adequately corrects the draft summaries, and the revised summaries are significantly improved in both quantitative and qualitative evaluations.
The speech recognition is one of the most modern technologies, which entered force in various fields of life, whether medical or security or industrial techniques. Accordingly, many related systems were developed, which differ from each otherin fea ture extraction methods and classification methods. In this research,three systems have been created for speech recognition.They differ from each other in the used methods during the stage of features extraction.While the first system used MFCC algorithm, the second system used LPCC algorithm, and the third system used PLP algorithm.All these three systems used HMM as classifier. At the first, the performance of the speechrecognitionprocesswas studied and evaluatedfor all the proposedsystems separately. After that, the combination algorithm was applied separately on eachpair of the studied system algorithmsin order to study the effect of using the combination algorithm onthe improvement of the speech recognition process. Twokinds of errors(simultaneous errors and dependent errors) were usedto evaluate the complementaryof each pair of the studied systems, and to study the effectiveness of the combination on improving the performance of speech recognition process. It can be seen from the results of the comparison that the best improvement ratio of speech recognition has been obtained in the case of collection MFCC and PLP algorithms with recognition ratio of 93.4%.
In general, the aim of an automatic speech recognition system is to write down what is said. State of the art continuous speech recognition systems consist of four basic modules: the signal processing, the acoustic modeling, the language modeling and the search engine. While isolated word recognition systems do not contain language modeling, which is responsible for connecting words together to form understandable sentences.
While named entity recognition (NER) from speech has been around as long as NER from written text has, the accuracy of NER from speech has generally been much lower than that of NER from text. The rise in popularity of spoken dialog systems such as S iri or Alexa highlights the need for more accurate NER from speech because NER is a core component for understanding what users said in dialogs. Deployed spoken dialog systems receive user input in the form of automatic speech recognition (ASR) transcripts, and simply applying NER model trained on written text to ASR transcripts often leads to low accuracy because compared to written text, ASR transcripts lack important cues such as punctuation and capitalization. Besides, errors in ASR transcripts also make NER from speech challenging. We propose two models that exploit dialog context and speech pattern clues to extract named entities more accurately from open-domain dialogs in spoken dialog systems. Our results show the benefit of modeling dialog context and speech patterns in two settings: a standard setting with random partition of data and a more realistic but also more difficult setting where many named entities encountered during deployment are unseen during training.
