Continuous integrate-and-fire (CIF) based models, which use a soft and monotonic alignment mechanism, have been well applied in non-autoregressive (NAR) speech recognition and achieved competitive performance compared with other NAR methods. However, such an alignment learning strategy may also result in inaccurate acoustic boundary estimation and deceleration in convergence speed. To eliminate these drawbacks and improve performance further, we incorporate an additional connectionist temporal classification (CTC) based alignment loss and a contextual decoder into the CIF-based NAR model. Specifically, we use the CTC spike information to guide the leaning of acoustic boundary and adopt a new contextual decoder to capture the linguistic dependencies within a sentence in the conventional CIF model. Besides, a recently proposed Conformer architecture is also employed to model both local and global acoustic dependencies. Experiments on the open-source Mandarin corpora AISHELL-1 show that the proposed method achieves a comparable character error rate (CER) of 4.9% with only 1/24 latency compared with a state-of-the-art autoregressive (AR) Conformer model.
Neural architecture search (NAS) has been successfully applied to tasks like image classification and language modeling for finding efficient high-performance network architectures. In ASR field especially end-to-end ASR, the related research is stil
Recently, end-to-end (E2E) speech recognition has become popular, since it can integrate the acoustic, pronunciation and language models into a single neural network, which outperforms conventional models. Among E2E approaches, attention-based models
Non-autoregressive (NAR) modeling has gained more and more attention in speech processing. With recent state-of-the-art attention-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) structure, NAR can realize promising real-time factor (RTF) improvement with on
Recently, streaming end-to-end automatic speech recognition (E2E-ASR) has gained more and more attention. Many efforts have been paid to turn the non-streaming attention-based E2E-ASR system into streaming architecture. In this work, we propose a nov
Discriminative models for source separation have recently been shown to produce impressive results. However, when operating on sources outside of the training set, these models can not perform as well and are cumbersome to update. Classical methods l
