Cross-utterance ASR rescoring with graph-based label propagation
ICASSP 2023-2023 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics …, 2023•ieeexplore.ieee.org
We propose a novel approach for ASR N-best hypothesis rescoring with graph-based label
propagation by leveraging cross-utterance acoustic similarity. In contrast to conventional
neural language model (LM) based ASR rescoring/reranking models, our approach focuses
on acoustic information and conducts the rescoring collaboratively among utterances,
instead of individually. Experiments on the VCTK dataset demonstrate that our approach
consistently improves ASR performance, as well as fairness across speaker groups with …

We propose a novel approach for ASR N-best hypothesis rescoring with graph-based label propagation by leveraging cross-utterance acoustic similarity. In contrast to conventional neural language model (LM) based ASR rescoring/reranking models, our approach focuses on acoustic information and conducts the rescoring collaboratively among utterances, instead of individually. Experiments on the VCTK dataset demonstrate that our approach consistently improves ASR performance, as well as fairness across speaker groups with different accents. Our approach provides a low-cost solution for mitigating the majoritarian bias of ASR systems, without the need to train new domain- or accent-specific models.
