Abstract
A system obtains a first training data set comprising labeled speech data or both labeled and unlabeled data corresponding to a high-resource data set as well as latent speech representations based on the first training data set. The system trains a machine learning model on the first training data set to learn phonetically aware speech representations corresponding to the first training data set. The system applies the latent speech representations to a transformer context network to generate contextual representations. The system aligns each of the contextual representations with a phoneme label to generate phonetically-aware contextual representations. The system causes a refinement engine to further refine the machine learning model.
