Practical AI Solutions for Speech Processing
Enhancing Human-Computer Interaction
Large language models (LLMs) excel in natural language tasks but struggle with non-textual data like images and audio. Incorporating speech comprehension improves human-computer interaction.
Integrating Textual LLMs with Speech Encoders
A promising approach integrates textual LLMs with speech encoders in one training setup, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of both speech and text, promising richer comprehension compared to text-only methods.
Multi-Task Learning for Generalization
Multi-task learning involves leveraging shared representations across diverse tasks to enhance generalization and efficiency. Models like T5 and SpeechNet employ this approach for text and speech tasks, achieving significant results.
SpeechVerse: A Multimodal AI Framework
SpeechVerse is a multi-task framework with supervised instruction finetuning for diverse speech tasks. It incorporates multi-task learning and finetuning without task-specific tagging, enabling generalization to unseen tasks through natural language instructions.
Model Architecture and Training
The multimodal model architecture of SpeechVerse comprises an audio encoder, a convolution downsampling module, and an LLM. Curriculum learning with parameter-efficient finetuning optimizes training, freezing pre-trained components to efficiently handle diverse speech tasks.
Evaluation and Performance
The evaluation of end-to-end trained joint speech and language models (E2E-SLM) using the SpeechVerse framework covers 11 tasks spanning various domains and datasets. SpeechVerse exhibits strong zero-shot generalization on unseen tasks and showcases superior performance compared to state-of-the-art models across diverse tasks.
