Leveraging Large Language Models for Exploiting ASR Uncertainty

no code implementations9 Sep 2023 Pranay Dighe, Yi Su, Shangshang Zheng, Yunshu Liu, Vineet Garg, Xiaochuan Niu, Ahmed Tewfik

While large language models excel in a variety of natural language processing (NLP) tasks, to perform well on spoken language understanding (SLU) tasks, they must either rely on off-the-shelf automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems for transcription, or be equipped with an in-built speech modality.

Audio-to-Intent Using Acoustic-Textual Subword Representations from End-to-End ASR

no code implementations21 Oct 2022 Pranay Dighe, Prateeth Nayak, Oggi Rudovic, Erik Marchi, Xiaochuan Niu, Ahmed Tewfik

Accurate prediction of the user intent to interact with a voice assistant (VA) on a device (e. g. on the phone) is critical for achieving naturalistic, engaging, and privacy-centric interactions with the VA. To this end, we present a novel approach to predict the user's intent (the user speaking to the device or not) directly from acoustic and textual information encoded at subword tokens which are obtained via an end-to-end ASR model.

Radiomics-Guided Global-Local Transformer for Weakly Supervised Pathology Localization in Chest X-Rays

1 code implementation10 Jul 2022 Yan Han, Gregory Holste, Ying Ding, Ahmed Tewfik, Yifan Peng, Zhangyang Wang

Using the learned self-attention of its image branch, RGT extracts a bounding box for which to compute radiomic features, which are further processed by the radiomics branch; learned image and radiomic features are then fused and mutually interact via cross-attention layers.
