Self-training and unsupervised pre-training have emerged as effective approaches to improve speech recognition systems using unlabeled data. However, it is not clear whether they learn similar patterns or if they can be effectively combined. In this paper, we show that pseudo-labeling and pre-training with wav2vec 2.0 are complementary in a variety of labeled data setups. Using just 10 minutes of labeled data from Libri-light as well as 53k hours of unlabeled data from LibriVox achieves WERs of 3.0%/5.2% on the clean and other test sets of Librispeech - rivaling the best published systems trained on 960 hours of labeled data only a year ago. Training on all labeled data of Librispeech achieves WERs of 1.5%/3.1%.
Motivated by the success of masked language modeling~(MLM) in pre-training natural language processing models, we propose w2v-BERT that explores MLM for self-supervised speech representation learning. w2v-BERT is a framework that combines contrastive
Task-adaptive pre-training (TAPT) and Self-training (ST) have emerged as the major semi-supervised approaches to improve natural language understanding (NLU) tasks with massive amount of unlabeled data. However, its unclear whether they learn similar
On-device speech recognition requires training models of different sizes for deploying on devices with various computational budgets. When building such different models, we can benefit from training them jointly to take advantage of the knowledge sh
Whispering is an important mode of human speech, but no end-to-end recognition results for it were reported yet, probably due to the scarcity of available whispered speech data. In this paper, we present several approaches for end-to-end (E2E) recogn
Varying data augmentation policies and regularization over the course of optimization has led to performance improvements over using fixed values. We show that population based training is a useful tool to continuously search those hyperparameters, w
