Abstract

A method for an automated speech recognition (ASR) model for unifying streaming and non-streaming speech recognition including receiving a sequence of acoustic frames. The method includes generating, using an audio encoder of an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model, a higher order feature representation for a corresponding acoustic frame in the sequence of acoustic frames. The method further includes generating, using a joint encoder of the ASR model, a probability distribution over possible speech recognition hypothesis at the corresponding time step based on the higher order feature representation generated by the audio encoder at the corresponding time step. The audio encoder comprises a neural network that applies mixture model (MiMo) attention to compute an attention probability distribution function (PDF) using a set of mixture components of softmaxes over a context window.
