Rank-reduced token representation for automatic speech recognition

Abstract:

The present disclosure generally relates to processing speech or text using rank-reduced token representation. In one example process, speech input is received. A sequence of candidate words corresponding to the speech input is determined. The sequence of candidate words includes a current word and one or more previous words. A vector representation of the current word is determined from a set of trained parameters. A number of parameters in the set of trained parameters varies as a function of one or more linguistic characteristics of the current word. Using the vector representation of the current word, a probability of a next word given the current word and the one or more previous words is determined. A text representation of the speech input is displayed based on the determined probability.
