Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes receiving a sequence of acoustic frames as input to an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model. Here, the ASR model includes a causal encoder and a decoder. The method also includes generating, by the causal encoder, a first higher order feature representation for a corresponding acoustic frame in the sequence of acoustic frames. The method also includes generating, by the decoder, a first probability distribution over possible speech recognition hypotheses. Here, the causal encoder includes a stack of causal encoder layers each including a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) Attention-Performer module that applies linear attention.
