Abstract:On-device speech recognition requires training models of different sizes for deploying on devices with various computational budgets. When building such different models, we can benefit from training them jointly to take advantage of the knowledge shared between them. Joint training is also efficient since it reduces the redundancy in the training procedure's data handling operations. We propose a method for collaboratively training acoustic encoders of different sizes for speech recognition. We use a sequence… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
