Streaming End-to-End Multilingual Speech Recognition with Joint Language Identification
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
Language identification is critical for many downstream tasks in automatic speech recognition (ASR), and is beneficial to integrate into multilingual end-to-end ASR as an additional task. In this paper, we propose to modify the structure of the cascaded-encoder-based recurrent neural network transducer (RNN-T) model by integrating a per-frame language identifier (LID) predictor. RNN-T with cascaded encoders can achieve streaming ASR with low latency using first-pass decoding with no right-context, and achieve lower word error rates (WERs) using second-pass decoding with longer right-context. By leveraging such differences in the right-contexts and a streaming implementation of statistics pooling, the proposed method can achieve accurate streaming LID prediction with little extra test-time cost. Experimental results on a voice search dataset with 9 language locales shows that the proposed method achieves an average of 96.2% LID prediction accuracy and the same second-pass WER as that obtained by including oracle LID in the input.
