They need no pronunciation lexicon, no decoder and no separately trained language model. Earlier work suggested such models need vastly more audio than phone- or character-based systems, and the authors' own previous A2W… 2. **[On the limit of English conversational speech recognition](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tuske-2021-limit-english-conversational-speech-recognition/)** *(2021 · 49 citations)* The paper asks how much further attention-based encoder-decoder ASR can be pushed on the Switchboard conversational telephone benchmark. The authors start from their earlier heavily regularized single-head LSTM encoder-decoder system. They then add several improvements: 3. **[English Broadcast News Speech Recognition by Humans and Machines](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/thomas-2019-english-broadcast-news-speech-recognition/)** *(2019 · 12 citations)* The paper asks whether deep-learning recipes that brought conversational telephone speech (CTS) recognition near human level also work for English broadcast news (BN). ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [George Saon](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/george-saon/) ×3 - [Michael Picheny](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/michael-picheny/) ×2 - [Zoltan Tuske](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zoltan-tuske/) ×2 - [Bhuvana Ramabhadran](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bhuvana-ramabhadran/) - [Gakuto Kurata](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/gakuto-kurata/) - [Kartik Audhkhasi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kartik-audhkhasi/) - [Samuel Thomas](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/samuel-thomas/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/ieee-international-conference-on-acoustics-speech-and-signal-processing/) ×2: [IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing 2019](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/ieee-international-conference-on-acoustics-speech-and-signal-processing/2019/), [IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing 2017](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/ieee-international-conference-on-acoustics-speech-and-signal-processing/2017/) - [Interspeech](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/interspeech-usb/): [Interspeech 2021](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/interspeech-usb/2021/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 19 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [2 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/brian-kingsbury/cited-by/).
