Abstract
A method of training an accent recognition model includes receiving a corpus of training utterances spoken across various accents, each training utterance in the corpus including training audio features characterizing the training utterance, and executing a training process to train the accent recognition model on the corpus of training utterances to teach the accent recognition model to learn how to predict accent representations from the training audio features. The accent recognition model includes one or more strided convolution layers, a stack of multi-headed attention layers, and a pooling layer configured to generate a corresponding accent representation.
