Sequence dicriminative training 기법을 사용한 트랜스포머 기반 음향 모델 성능 향상

초록

In this paper, we adopt a transformer that shows remarkable performance in natural language processing as an acoustic model of hybrid speech recognition. The transformer acoustic model uses attention structures to process sequential data and shows high performance with low computational cost. This paper proposes a method to improve the performance of transformer AM by applying each of the four algorithms of sequence discriminative training, a weighted finite-state transducer (wFST)-based learning used in the existing DNN-HMM model. In addition, compared to the Cross Entropy (CE) learning method, sequence discriminative method shows 5 % of the relative Word Error Rate (WER).
