In this paper, we combined linguistic complexity and (dis)fluency features with pretrained language models for the task of Alzheimers disease detection of the 2021 ADReSSo (Alzheimers Dementia Recognition through Spontaneous Speech) challenge. An accuracy of 83.1% was achieved on the test set, which amounts to an improvement of 4.23% over the baseline model. Our best-performing model that integrated component models using a stacking ensemble technique performed equally well on cross-validation and test data, indicating that it is robust against overfitting.

Intent classification is a task in spoken language understanding. An intent classification system is usually implemented as a pipeline process, with a speech recognition module followed by text processing that classifies the intents. There are also s
tudies of end-to-end system that takes acoustic features as input and classifies the intents directly. Such systems dont take advantage of relevant linguistic information, and suffer from limited training data. In this work, we propose a novel intent classification framework that employs acoustic features extracted from a pretrained speech recognition system and linguistic features learned from a pretrained language model. We use knowledge distillation technique to map the acoustic embeddings towards linguistic embeddings. We perform fusion of both acoustic and linguistic embeddings through cross-attention approach to classify intents. With the proposed method, we achieve 90.86% and 99.07% accuracy on ATIS and Fluent speech corpus, respectively.
We present two multimodal fusion-based deep learning models that consume ASR transcribed speech and acoustic data simultaneously to classify whether a speaker in a structured diagnostic task has Alzheimers Disease and to what degree, evaluating the A
DReSSo challenge 2021 data. Our best model, a BiLSTM with highway layers using words, word probabilities, disfluency features, pause information, and a variety of acoustic features, achieves an accuracy of 84% and RSME error prediction of 4.26 on MMSE cognitive scores. While predicting cognitive decline is more challenging, our models show improvement using the multimodal approach and word probabilities, disfluency and pause information over word-only models. We show considerable gains for AD classification using multimodal fusion and gating, which can effectively deal with noisy inputs from acoustic features and ASR hypotheses.
As voice assistants become more ubiquitous, they are increasingly expected to support and perform well on a wide variety of use-cases across different domains. We present a domain-aware rescoring framework suitable for achieving domain-adaptation dur
ing second-pass rescoring in production settings. In our framework, we fine-tune a domain-general neural language model on several domains, and use an LSTM-based domain classification model to select the appropriate domain-adapted model to use for second-pass rescoring. This domain-aware rescoring improves the word error rate by up to 2.4% and slot word error rate by up to 4.1% on three individual domains -- shopping, navigation, and music -- compared to domain general rescoring. These improvements are obtained while maintaining accuracy for the general use case.
Language models (LMs) pre-trained on massive amounts of text, in particular bidirectional encoder representations from Transformers (BERT), generative pre-training (GPT), and GPT-2, have become a key technology for many natural language processing ta
sks. In this paper, we present results using fine-tuned GPT, GPT-2, and their combination for automatic speech recognition (ASR). Unlike unidirectional LM GPT and GPT-2, BERT is bidirectional whose direct product of the output probabilities is no longer a valid language prior probability. A conversion method is proposed to compute the correct language prior probability based on bidirectional LM outputs in a mathematically exact way. Experimental results on the widely used AMI and Switchboard ASR tasks showed that the combination of the fine-tuned GPT and GPT-2 outperformed the combination of three neural LMs with different architectures trained from scratch on the in-domain text by up to a 12% relative word error rate reduction (WERR). Furthermore, the proposed conversion for language prior probabilities enables BERT to receive an extra 3% relative WERR, and the combination of BERT, GPT and GPT-2 results in further improvements.
We introduce Lookup-Table Language Models (LookupLM), a method for scaling up the size of RNN language models with only a constant increase in the floating point operations, by increasing the expressivity of the embedding table. In particular, we ins
tantiate an (additional) embedding table which embeds the previous n-gram token sequence, rather than a single token. This allows the embedding table to be scaled up arbitrarily -- with a commensurate increase in performance -- without changing the token vocabulary. Since embeddings are sparsely retrieved from the table via a lookup; increasing the size of the table adds neither extra operations to each forward pass nor extra parameters that need to be stored on limited GPU/TPU memory. We explore scaling n-gram embedding tables up to nearly a billion parameters. When trained on a 3-billion sentence corpus, we find that LookupLM improves long tail log perplexity by 2.44 and long tail WER by 23.4% on a downstream speech recognition task over a standard RNN language model baseline, an improvement comparable to a scaling up the baseline by 6.2x the number of floating point operations.
