Abstract
An automatic speech recognition (ASR) system recognizes speech expressed in different languages. The ASR system includes a language-agnostic encoding component and prediction component. A language-specific joint analysis system generates first-language probabilities for symbols of a first language and second-language probabilities for symbols of a second language, based on outputs generated by the encoding component and the prediction component. The ASR system then modifies the probabilities produced by the joint analysis system by language-specific weighting information that, in turn, is produced by an attention system. This yields modified first-language probabilities and modified second-language probabilities. Finally, the ASR system predicts an updated instance of label information based on the modified first-language probabilities and the modified second-language probabilities. The ASR system can be successfully applied to recognize an utterance that combines words in two or more languages. The ASR system is further capable of being run on resource-constrained computing platforms.
