Lightweight Transducer Based on Frame-Level Criterion
Year: 2024

The transducer model trained based on sequence-level criterion requires a lot of memory due to the generation of the large probability matrix. We proposed a lightweight transducer model based on frame-level criterion, which uses the results of the CTC forced alignment algorithm to determine the label for each frame. Then the encoder output can be combined with the decoder output at the corresponding time, rather than adding each element output by the encoder to each element output by the decoder
