Speech Processing

To enhance the reliability and robustness of language identification (LID) and language diarization (LD) systems for heterogeneous populations and scenarios, there is a need for speech processing models to be trained on datasets that feature diverse language registers and speech patterns.

With careful manipulation, malicious agents can reverse engineer private information encoded in pre-trained language models. Security concerns motivate the development of quantum pre-training. In this work, we propose a highly portable quantum language model (PQLM) that can easily transmit information to downstream tasks on classical machines.

Lyrics recognition is an important task in music processing. Despite traditional algorithms such as the hybrid HMM- TDNN model achieving good performance, studies on applying end-to-end models and self-supervised learning (SSL) are limited.
