    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a base encoder from a pre-trained model, and receiving training data comprising a sequence of acoustic frames characterizing an utterance paired with a ground-truth transcription of the utterance. At each of a plurality of output steps, the method includes: generating, by the base encoder, a first encoded representation for a corresponding acoustic frame; generating, by an exporter network configured to receive a continuous sequence of first encoded representations generated by the base encoder, a second encoded representation for a corresponding acoustic frame; generating, by an exporter decoder, a probability distribution over possible logits; and determining an exporter decoder loss based on the probability distribution over possible logits generated by the exporter decoder at the corresponding output step and the ground-truth transcription. The method also includes training the exporter network based on the exporter decoder losses while parameters of the base encoder are frozen.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving audio data encoding an utterance and obtaining a set of bias phrases corresponding to a context of the utterance. Each bias phrase includes one or more words. The method also includes processing, using a speech recognition model, acoustic features derived from the audio to generate an output from the speech recognition model. The speech recognition model includes a first encoder configured to receive the acoustic features, a first attention module, a bias encoder configured to receive data indicating the obtained set of bias phrases, a bias encoder, and a decoder configured to determine likelihoods of sequences of speech elements based on output of the first attention module and output of the bias attention module. The method also includes determining a transcript for the utterance based on the likelihoods of sequences of speech elements.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for detecting utterances of a key phrase in an audio signal. One of the methods includes receiving, by a key phrase spotting system, an audio signal encoding one or more utterances; while continuing to receive the audio signal, generating, by the key phrase spotting system, an attention output using an attention mechanism that is configured to compute the attention output based on a series of encodings generated by an encoder comprising one or more neural network layers; generating, by the key phrase spotting system and using attention output, output that indicates whether the audio signal likely encodes the key phrase; and providing, by the key phrase spotting system, the output that indicates whether the audio signal likely encodes the key phrase.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable storage media, for speech recognition using attention-based sequence-to-sequence models. In some implementations, audio data indicating acoustic characteristics of an utterance is received. A sequence of feature vectors indicative of the acoustic characteristics of the utterance is generated. The sequence of feature vectors is processed using a speech recognition model that has been trained using a loss function that uses N-best lists of decoded hypotheses, the speech recognition model including an encoder, an attention module, and a decoder. The encoder and decoder each include one or more recurrent neural network layers. A sequence of output vectors representing distributions over a predetermined set of linguistic units is obtained. A transcription for the utterance is obtained based on the sequence of output vectors. Data indicating the transcription of the utterance is provided.
