Abstract
A method includes receiving a sequence of acoustic frames characterizing an utterance. During a first pass, the method includes generating first-pass audio encodings based on the sequence of acoustic frames using a stack of mask-conformer blocks of an acoustic encoder, generating a first-pass transcription of the utterance based on the first-pass audio encodings using a speech recognition decoder, and generating a first-pass masked output sequence using a mask-predict decoder of the acoustic encoder. During a second pass, the method includes generating second-pass audio encodings by performing cross-attention on the sequence of acoustic frames and the masked first-pass transcription using the stack of mask-conformer blocks of the acoustic encoder and generating a second-pass transcription of the utterance based on the second-pass audio encodings using the speech recognition decoder.
