Joint encoding of the waveform and speech recognition features using a transform codec
We propose a new transform speech codec that jointly encodes a wideband waveform and its corresponding wideband and narrowband speech recognition features. For distributed speech ...

Why word error rate is not a good metric for speech recognizer training for the speech translation task?
Speech translation (ST) is an enabling technology for cross-lingual oral communication. A ST system consists of two major components: an automatic speech recognizer (ASR) and a ma...
