Utterance-level intent detection and token-level slot filling are two key tasks for spoken language understanding (SLU) in task-oriented systems. Most existing approaches assume that only a single intent exists in an utterance. However, there are often mul ...
This paper describes the team (“ODI-ANLP”)’s submission to WAT 2020. We have participated in the English→HindiMultimodal task and Indic task. We have used the state-of-the-art Transformer model for the translation task and Incep-tionResNetV2 for the Hindi ...
How can we effectively develop speech technology for languages where no transcribed data is available? Many existing approaches use no annotated resources at all, yet it makes sense to leverage information from large annotated corpora in other languages, f ...
State-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech systems require a pronunciation lexicon that maps each word to a sequence of phones. Manual development of lexicons is costly as it needs linguistic knowledge and human expertise. To fa ...
