Automatic Speech Recognition for Irish: the ABAIR-ÉIST System

no code implementations CLTW (LREC) 2022 Liam Lonergan, Mengjie Qian, Harald Berthelsen, Andy Murphy, Christoph Wendler, Neasa Ní Chiaráin, Christer Gobl, Ailbhe Ní Chasaide

This paper describes ÉIST, automatic speech recogniser for Irish, developed as part of the ongoing ABAIR initiative, combining (1) acoustic models, (2) pronunciation lexicons and (3) language models into a hybrid system.

Towards End-to-End Spoken Grammatical Error Correction

no code implementations9 Nov 2023 Stefano Bannò, Rao Ma, Mengjie Qian, Kate M. Knill, Mark J. F. Gales

This foundation model can be used to replace the whole framework or part of it, e. g., ASR and disfluency removal.

Zero-shot Audio Topic Reranking using Large Language Models

no code implementations14 Sep 2023 Mengjie Qian, Rao Ma, Adian Liusie, Erfan Loweimi, Kate M. Knill, Mark J. F. Gales

A key element for this process is highly rapid, flexible, search to support large archives, which in MVSE is facilitated by representing video attributes by embeddings.

Towards spoken dialect identification of Irish

no code implementations14 Jul 2023 Liam Lonergan, Mengjie Qian, Neasa Ní Chiaráin, Christer Gobl, Ailbhe Ní Chasaide

Motivated by this, the present experiments investigate spoken dialect identification of Irish, with a view to incorporating such a system into the speech recognition pipeline.

Towards dialect-inclusive recognition in a low-resource language: are balanced corpora the answer?

no code implementations14 Jul 2023 Liam Lonergan, Mengjie Qian, Neasa Ní Chiaráin, Christer Gobl, Ailbhe Ní Chasaide

ASR systems are generally built for the spoken 'standard', and their performance declines for non-standard dialects/varieties.

Adapting an ASR Foundation Model for Spoken Language Assessment

no code implementations13 Jul 2023 Rao Ma, Mengjie Qian, Mark J. F. Gales, Kate M. Knill

Additionally, these models have a tendency to skip disfluencies and hesitations in the output.

Adapting an Unadaptable ASR System

no code implementations1 Jun 2023 Rao Ma, Mengjie Qian, Mark J. F. Gales, Kate M. Knill

As speech recognition model sizes and training data requirements grow, it is increasingly common for systems to only be available via APIs from online service providers rather than having direct access to models themselves.
