Dynamic Acoustic Unit Augmentation With BPE-Dropout for Low-Resource End-to-End Speech Recognition
With the rapid development of speech assistants, adapting server-intended
automatic speech recognition (ASR) solutions to a direct device has become
crucial. Researchers and industry prefer to use end-to-end ASR systems for
on-device speech recognition tasks. This is because end-to-end systems can be
made resource-efficient while maintaining a higher quality compared to hybrid
systems. However, building end-to-end models requires a significant amount of
speech data. Another challenging task associated with speech assistants is
personalization, which mainly lies in handling out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words.
In this work, we consider building an effective end-to-end ASR system in
low-resource setups with a high OOV rate, embodied in Babel Turkish and Babel
Georgian tasks. To address the aforementioned problems, we propose a method of
dynamic acoustic unit augmentation based on the BPE-dropout technique. It
non-deterministically tokenizes utterances to extend the token's contexts and
to regularize their distribution for the model's recognition of unseen words.
It also reduces the need for optimal subword vocabulary size search. The
technique provides a steady improvement in regular and personalized
(OOV-oriented) speech recognition tasks (at least 6% relative WER and 25%
relative F-score) at no additional computational cost. Owing to the use of
BPE-dropout, our monolingual Turkish Conformer established a competitive result
with 22.2% character error rate (CER) and 38.9% word error rate (WER), which is
close to the best published multilingual system.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figure
Putting a Price Tag on the Common Core: How Much Will Smart Implementation Cost?
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English language arts and mathematics represent a sea change in standards-based reform and their implementation is the movement's next -- and greatest -- challenge. Yet, while most states have now set forth implementation plans, these tomes seldom address the crucial matter of cost. Putting a Price Tag on the Common Core: How Much Will Smart Implementation Cost? estimates the implementation cost for each of the forty-five states (and the District of Columbia) that have adopted the Common Core State Standards and shows that costs naturally depend on how states approach implementation. Authors Patrick J. Murphy of the University of San Francisco and Elliot Regenstein of EducationCounsel LLC illustrate this with three models

Market Structure and Energy Efficiency: The Case of New Commercial Buildings
This is a report on why commercial office buildings arenât more energy efficient. Several decades of energy efficiency programs have resulted in some gains, but overall increases in the energy efficiency of buildings have fallen far short of the 30 to 50 percent improvement that many efficiency advocates believe is possible. The purpose of this study is to consider the âwhyâ question by empirically examining the dynamics of new commercial building markets. To do so, the authors used multiple research techniques, including qualitative field observation and interview methods that allow for a more in-depth understanding of complicated market processes. Their research focused primarily on new office buildings and centered in four regional markets: Sacramento, San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland. The authors identify key dynamics of commercial office building markets, describe how change and innovation occurs in commercial development, discuss the implications for energy efficiency, and suggest next steps
wEBMT: developing and validating an example-based machine translation system using the world wide web
We have developed an example-based machine translation (EBMT) system that uses the World Wide Web for two different purposes: First, we populate the systemâs memory with translations gathered from rule-based MT systems located on the Web. The source strings input to these
systems were extracted automatically from an extremely small subset of the rule types in the Penn-II Treebank. In subsequent stages, the (source, target) translation pairs obtained are automatically transformed into a series of resources that render the translation process more successful. Despite the fact that the output from on-line MT systems is often faulty, we demonstrate in a number
of experiments that when used to seed the memories of an EBMT system, they can in fact prove useful in generating translations of high quality in a robust fashion. In addition, we demonstrate the relative gain of EBMT in comparison to on-line systems. Second, despite the perception that the documents available on the Web are of questionable quality, we demonstrate in contrast that
such resources are extremely useful in automatically postediting translation candidates proposed
by our system
