Title - Open Problems in Speech Recognition
Abstract - In this talk, I will focus on the evolution of ideas in speech recognition over the last couple of decades, with emphasis on the key breakthroughs over the last ten years, its impact across spoken language processing in several languages, recent trends and open challenges that remain to be addressed. One such breakthrough is the use of several neural network model variants, which has had an enormous impact on the performance of state-of-the-art large vocabulary speech recognition systems. They have also had impact on keyword search which is the task of localizing an orthographic query in a speech corpus, and is typically performed through analysis of automatic speech recognition (ASR). Using the recently concluded IARPA funded Babel program as an example of a well-benchmarked task that focussed on the rapid development of speech recognition capability for keyword search in a previously unstudied language, I will present the successes and challenges that persist with limited amounts of transcription. Interpreting and understanding the hidden representations of various models remains a challenge today. I will also discuss current research taking advantage of such interpretations to improve robustness to noisy environments, speaker/domain adaptation algorithms, and dialects/accents. I will conclude with relevant metrics to measure speech recognition performance today that include and ignore the bigger picture of end to end user experience.
