Lightweight CNN for Robust Voice Activity Detection

Published in International Conference on Speech and Computer (SPECOM), 2020

In this work, we designed a lightweight CNN architecture and improved its performance under noisy conditions using strong regularization (SpecAugment and DropBlock) and knowledge distillation techniques.

Punctuation Restoration using Transformer Models for High-and Low-Resource Languages

Published in Proceedings of the 6th Workshop on Noisy User-generated Text (W-NUT 2020)@EMNLP, 2020

We used different Transformer models for the punctuation restoration task on a high (English) and low (resource) language. We also proposed a novel augmentation strategy tailored for improving performance on ASR transcriptions.
