This paper proposes an additive phoneme-aware margin softmax (APM-Softmax) loss to train the multi-task learning network with phonetic information for language recognition. In additive margin softmax (AM-Softmax) loss, the margin is set as a constant during the entire training for all training samples, and that is a suboptimal method since the recognition difficulty varies in training samples. In additive angular margin softmax (AAM-Softmax) loss, the additional angular margin is set as a costant as well. In this paper, we propose an APM-Softmax loss for language recognition with phoneitc multi-task learning, in which the additive phoneme-aware margin is automatically tuned for different training samples. More specifically, the margin of language recognition is adjusted according to the results of phoneme recognition. Experiments are reported on Oriental Language Recognition (OLR) datasets, and the proposed method improves AM-Softmax loss and AAM-Softmax loss in different language recognition testing conditions.

Cross-entropy loss together with softmax is arguably one of the most common used supervision components in convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Despite its simplicity, popularity and excellent performance, the component does not explicitly encourage
discriminative learning of features. In this paper, we propose a generalized large-margin softmax (L-Softmax) loss which explicitly encourages intra-class compactness and inter-class separability between learned features. Moreover, L-Softmax not only can adjust the desired margin but also can avoid overfitting. We also show that the L-Softmax loss can be optimized by typical stochastic gradient descent. Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate that the deeply-learned features with L-softmax loss become more discriminative, hence significantly boosting the performance on a variety of visual classification and verification tasks.
Softmax loss is arguably one of the most popular losses to train CNN models for image classification. However, recent works have exposed its limitation on feature discriminability. This paper casts a new viewpoint on the weakness of softmax loss. On
the one hand, the CNN features learned using the softmax loss are often inadequately discriminative. We hence introduce a soft-margin softmax function to explicitly encourage the discrimination between different classes. On the other hand, the learned classifier of softmax loss is weak. We propose to assemble multiple these weak classifiers to a strong one, inspired by the recognition that the diversity among weak classifiers is critical to a good ensemble. To achieve the diversity, we adopt the Hilbert-Schmidt Independence Criterion (HSIC). Considering these two aspects in one framework, we design a novel loss, named as Ensemble soft-Margin Softmax (EM-Softmax). Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets are conducted to show the superiority of our design over the baseline softmax loss and several state-of-the-art alternatives.
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
el online E2E-ASR system by using Streaming Chunk-Aware Multihead Attention(SCAMA) and a latency control memory equipped self-attention network (LC-SAN-M). LC-SAN-M uses chunk-level input to control the latency of encoder. As to SCAMA, a jointly trained predictor is used to control the output of encoder when feeding to decoder, which enables decoder to generate output in streaming manner. Experimental results on the open 170-hour AISHELL-1 and an industrial-level 20000-hour Mandarin speech recognition tasks show that our approach can significantly outperform the MoChA-based baseline system under comparable setup. On the AISHELL-1 task, our proposed method achieves a character error rate (CER) of 7.39%, to the best of our knowledge, which is the best published performance for online ASR.
Dialect identification (DID) is a special case of general language identification (LID), but a more challenging problem due to the linguistic similarity between dialects. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end DID system and a Siamese neural network
to extract language embeddings. We use both acoustic and linguistic features for the DID task on the Arabic dialectal speech dataset: Multi-Genre Broadcast 3 (MGB-3). The end-to-end DID system was trained using three kinds of acoustic features: Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs), log Mel-scale Filter Bank energies (FBANK) and spectrogram energies. We also investigated a dataset augmentation approach to achieve robust performance with limited data resources. Our linguistic feature research focused on learning similarities and dissimilarities between dialects using the Siamese network, so that we can reduce feature dimensionality as well as improve DID performance. The best system using a single feature set achieves 73% accuracy, while a fusion system using multiple features yields 78% on the MGB-3 dialect test set consisting of 5 dialects. The experimental results indicate that FBANK features achieve slightly better results than MFCCs. Dataset augmentation via speed perturbation appears to add significant robustness to the system. Although the Siamese network with language embeddings did not achieve as good a result as the end-to-end DID system, the two approaches had good synergy when combined together in a fused system.
This paper proposes a multi-task learning network with phoneme-aware and channel-wise attentive learning strategies for text-dependent Speaker Verification (SV). In the proposed structure, the frame-level multi-task learning along with the segment-le
vel adversarial learning is adopted for speaker embedding extraction. The phoneme-aware attentive pooling is exploited on frame-level features in the main network for speaker classifier, with the corresponding posterior probability for the phoneme distribution in the auxiliary subnet. Further, the introduction of Squeeze and Excitation (SE-block) performs dynamic channel-wise feature recalibration, which improves the representational ability. The proposed method exploits speaker idiosyncrasies associated with pass-phrases, and is further improved by the phoneme-aware attentive pooling and SE-block from temporal and channel-wise aspects, respectively. The experiments conducted on RSR2015 Part 1 database confirm that the proposed system achieves outstanding results for textdependent SV.
