Many real-life applications of automatic speech recognition (ASR) require processing of overlapped speech. A commonmethod involves first separating the speech into overlap-free streams and then performing ASR on the resulting signals. Recently, the inclusion of a mixture encoder in the ASR model has been proposed. This mixture encoder leverages the original overlapped speech to mitigate the effect of artifacts introduced by the speech separation. Previously, however, the method only addressed two-speaker scenarios. In this work, we extend this approach to more natural meeting contexts featuring an arbitrary number of speakers and dynamic overlaps. We evaluate the performance using different speech separators, including the powerful TF-GridNet model. Our experiments show state-of-the-art performance on the LibriCSS dataset and highlight the advantages of the mixture encoder. Furthermore, they demonstrate the strong separation of TF-GridNet which largely closes the gap between previous methods and oracle separation.

This thesis focuses on improving the pre-training of natural language models using unsupervised raw data to make them more efficient and aligned with downstream applications. In the first part, we introduce three alternative pre-training objectives to BERT's Masked Language Modeling (MLM), namely Random Token Substitution (RTS), Cluster-based Random Token Substitution (C-RTS), and Swapped Language Modeling (SLM). These objectives involve token swapping instead of masking, with RTS and C-RTS aiming to predict token originality and SLM predicting the original token values. Results show that RTS and C-RTS require less pre-training time while maintaining performance comparable to MLM. Surprisingly, SLM outperforms MLM on certain tasks despite using the same computational budget. In the second part, we proposes self-supervised pre-training tasks that align structurally with downstream applications, reducing the need for labeled data. We use large corpora like Wikipedia and CC-News to train models to recognize if text spans originate from the same paragraph or document in several ways. By doing continuous pre-training, starting from existing models like RoBERTa, ELECTRA, DeBERTa, BART, and T5, we demonstrate significant performance improvements in tasks like Fact Verification, Answer Sentence Selection, and Summarization. These improvements are especially pronounced when limited annotation data is available. The proposed objectives also achieve state-of-the-art results on various benchmark datasets, including FEVER (dev set), ASNQ, WikiQA, and TREC-QA, as well as enhancing the quality of summaries. Importantly, these techniques can be easily integrated with other methods without altering the internal structure of Transformer models, making them versatile for various NLP applications.

Recently, large-scale pre-trained language-image models like CLIP have shown extraordinary capabilities for understanding spatial contents, but naively transferring such models to video recognition still suffers from unsatisfactory temporal modeling capabilities. Existing methods insert tunable structures into or in parallel with the pre-trained model, which either requires back-propagation through the whole pre-trained model and is thus resource-demanding, or is limited by the temporal reasoning capability of the pre-trained structure. In this work, we present DiST, which disentangles the learning of spatial and temporal aspects of videos. Specifically, DiST uses a dual-encoder structure, where a pre-trained foundation model acts as the spatial encoder, and a lightweight network is introduced as the temporal encoder. An integration branch is inserted between the encoders to fuse spatio-temporal information. The disentangled spatial and temporal learning in DiST is highly efficient because it avoids the back-propagation of massive pre-trained parameters. Meanwhile, we empirically show that disentangled learning with an extra network for integration benefits both spatial and temporal understanding. Extensive experiments on five benchmarks show that DiST delivers better performance than existing state-of-the-art methods by convincing gaps. When pre-training on the large-scale Kinetics-710, we achieve 89.7% on Kinetics-400 with a frozen ViT-L model, which verifies the scalability of DiST.

This paper presents a quantitative program verification infrastructure for discrete probabilistic programs. Our infrastructure can be viewed as the probabilistic analogue of Boogie: its central components are an intermediate verification language (IVL) together with a real-valued logic. Our IVL provides a programming-language-style for expressing verification conditions whose validity implies the correctness of a program under investigation. As our focus is on verifying quantitative properties such as bounds on expected outcomes, expected run-times, or termination probabilities, off-the-shelf IVLs based on Boolean first-order logic do not suffice. Instead, a paradigm shift from the standard Boolean to a real-valued domain is required. Our IVL features quantitative generalizations of standard verification constructs such as assume- and assert-statements. Verification conditions are generated by a weakest-precondition-style semantics, based on our real-valued logic. We show that our verification infrastructure supports natural encodings of numerous verification techniques from the literature. With our SMT-based implementation, we automatically verify a variety of benchmarks. To the best of our knowledge, this establishes the first deductive verification infrastructure for expectation-based reasoning about probabilistic programs.

Large language models (LLMs) have shown great promise for capturing contextual information in natural language processing tasks. We propose a novel approach to speaker diarization that incorporates the prowess of LLMs to exploit contextual cues in human dialogues. Our method builds upon an acoustic-based speaker diarization system by adding lexical information from an LLM in the inference stage. We model the multi-modal decoding process probabilistically and perform joint acoustic and lexical beam search to incorporate cues from both modalities: audio and text. Our experiments demonstrate that infusing lexical knowledge from the LLM into an acoustics-only diarization system improves overall speaker-attributed word error rate (SA-WER). The experimental results show that LLMs can provide complementary information to acoustic models for the speaker diarization task via proposed beam search decoding approach showing up to 39.8% relative delta-SA-WER improvement from the baseline system. Thus, we substantiate that the proposed technique is able to exploit contextual information that is inaccessible to acoustics-only systems which is represented by speaker embeddings. In addition, these findings point to the potential of using LLMs to improve speaker diarization and other speech processing tasks by capturing semantic and contextual cues.

Large language models display remarkable capabilities in logical and mathematical reasoning, allowing them to solve complex tasks. Interestingly, these abilities emerge in networks trained on the simple task of next-token prediction. In this work, we present a theoretical framework for studying auto-regressive next-token predictors. We demonstrate that even simple models such as linear next-token predictors, trained on Chain-of-Thought (CoT) data, can approximate any function efficiently computed by a Turing machine. We introduce a new complexity measure -- length complexity -- which measures the number of intermediate tokens in a CoT sequence required to approximate some target function, and analyze the interplay between length complexity and other notions of complexity. Finally, we show experimentally that simple next-token predictors, such as linear networks and shallow Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs), display non-trivial performance on text generation and arithmetic tasks. Our results demonstrate that the power of language models can be attributed, to a great extent, to the auto-regressive next-token training scheme, and not necessarily to a particular choice of architecture.

This paper presents a novel hybrid Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system designed specifically for resource-constrained robots. The proposed approach combines Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) with deep learning models and leverages socket programming to distribute processing tasks effectively. In this architecture, the HMM-based processing takes place within the robot, while a separate PC handles the deep learning model. This synergy between HMMs and deep learning enhances speech recognition accuracy significantly. We conducted experiments across various robotic platforms, demonstrating real-time and precise speech recognition capabilities. Notably, the system exhibits adaptability to changing acoustic conditions and compatibility with low-power hardware, making it highly effective in environments with limited computational resources. This hybrid ASR paradigm opens up promising possibilities for seamless human-robot interaction. In conclusion, our research introduces a pioneering dimension to ASR techniques tailored for robotics. By employing socket programming to distribute processing tasks across distinct devices and strategically combining HMMs with deep learning models, our hybrid ASR system showcases its potential to enable robots to comprehend and respond to spoken language adeptly, even in environments with restricted computational resources. This paradigm sets a innovative course for enhancing human-robot interaction across a wide range of real-world scenarios.

With the rise of powerful pre-trained vision-language models like CLIP, it becomes essential to investigate ways to adapt these models to downstream datasets. A recently proposed method named Context Optimization (CoOp) introduces the concept of prompt learning -- a recent trend in NLP -- to the vision domain for adapting pre-trained vision-language models. Specifically, CoOp turns context words in a prompt into a set of learnable vectors and, with only a few labeled images for learning, can achieve huge improvements over intensively-tuned manual prompts. In our study we identify a critical problem of CoOp: the learned context is not generalizable to wider unseen classes within the same dataset, suggesting that CoOp overfits base classes observed during training. To address the problem, we propose Conditional Context Optimization (CoCoOp), which extends CoOp by further learning a lightweight neural network to generate for each image an input-conditional token (vector). Compared to CoOp's static prompts, our dynamic prompts adapt to each instance and are thus less sensitive to class shift. Extensive experiments show that CoCoOp generalizes much better than CoOp to unseen classes, even showing promising transferability beyond a single dataset; and yields stronger domain generalization performance as well. Code is available at //github.com/KaiyangZhou/CoOp.

Pre-trained models learn contextualized word representations on large-scale text corpus through a self-supervised learning method, which has achieved promising performance after fine-tuning. These models, however, suffer from poor robustness and lack of interpretability. Pre-trained models with knowledge injection, which we call knowledge enhanced pre-trained models (KEPTMs), possess deep understanding and logical reasoning and introduce interpretability to some extent. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive overview of KEPTMs for natural language processing. We first introduce the progress of pre-trained models and knowledge representation learning. Then we systematically categorize existing KEPTMs from three different perspectives. Finally, we outline some potential directions of KEPTMs for future research.

Few-shot learning aims to learn novel categories from very few samples given some base categories with sufficient training samples. The main challenge of this task is the novel categories are prone to dominated by color, texture, shape of the object or background context (namely specificity), which are distinct for the given few training samples but not common for the corresponding categories (see Figure 1). Fortunately, we find that transferring information of the correlated based categories can help learn the novel concepts and thus avoid the novel concept being dominated by the specificity. Besides, incorporating semantic correlations among different categories can effectively regularize this information transfer. In this work, we represent the semantic correlations in the form of structured knowledge graph and integrate this graph into deep neural networks to promote few-shot learning by a novel Knowledge Graph Transfer Network (KGTN). Specifically, by initializing each node with the classifier weight of the corresponding category, a propagation mechanism is learned to adaptively propagate node message through the graph to explore node interaction and transfer classifier information of the base categories to those of the novel ones. Extensive experiments on the ImageNet dataset show significant performance improvement compared with current leading competitors. Furthermore, we construct an ImageNet-6K dataset that covers larger scale categories, i.e, 6,000 categories, and experiments on this dataset further demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed model.
