… current speech recognition technology still requires labeled training data. This limits this technology to a small fraction of the languages spoken around the globe.
This paper describes … method to train speech recognition models without any labeled data.
… wav2vec-U reduces the phoneme error rate on the TIMIT benchmark from 26.1 to 11.3.
… wav2vec-U … rivaling some of the best published systems trained on 960 hours of labeled data from only two years ago.
We also experiment on nine other languages, including low-resource languages such as Kyrgyz, Swahili and Tatar.
