Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for instantiating, modifying, adapting, and using a factorized neural transducer for multi-speaker automatic speech recognition. The factorized neural transducer includes a vocabulary predictor with multiple hidden states to process speech from different speakers, a non-vocabulary predictor that facilitates the prediction of channel change tokens indicating a speaker change in input speech data, an encoder used to encode acoustic features of the input speech data, and a joint network.
