Method for configuring and using a numeric-to-alphabetic expression machine learning model

Abstract

A system, method, and computer-program product includes constructing a transcript adaptation training data corpus that includes a plurality of transcript normalization training data samples, wherein each of the plurality of transcript normalization training data samples includes: a predicted audio transcript that includes at least one numerical expression, an adapted audio transcript that includes an alphabetic representation of the at least one numerical expression, and a transcript normalization identifier that, when applied to a model input comprising a target audio transcript, defines a text-to-text transformation objective causing a numeric-to-alphabetic expression machine learning model to predict an alphabetic-equivalent audio transcript that represents each numerical expression included in the target audio transcript in one or more alphabetic tokens; configuring the numeric-to-alphabetic expression machine learning model based on a training of a machine learning text-to-text transformer model using the transcript adaptation training data corpus; and executing the numeric-to-alphabetic expression machine learning model.
