Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for accessing a factorized neural transducer comprising a first set of layers for predicting blank tokens and a second set of layers for predicting vocabulary tokens, the second set of layers comprising a language model that includes a vocabulary predictor which is a separate predictor from the blank predictor, wherein a vocabulary predictor output from the vocabulary predictor and the encoder output are used for predicting a vocabulary token. The second set of layers is selectively modified to facilitate an improvement in an accuracy of the factorized neural transducer in performing automatic speech recognition, the selectively modifying comprising applying a particular modification to the second set of layers while refraining from applying the particular modification to the first set of layers.
