Introducing Speech Recognition for Uncommon Spoken Languages
Published on

Speech recognition can now be used to identify uncommon spoken languages!

Automated speech recognition technology has become one of the fastest-growing technologies in the world. These technologies have become more advanced with virtual voice assistants like Siri and Google assistant. These technologies solely carry out approximately 7000 different languages. But these tools do not function for the widespread languages that hundreds and thousands of people use to communicate. These are the less commonplace languages that are not known to everyone and are far off from the sciences concerning speech. But we are advancing towards a career that is enabling the speech recognition of such uncommon languages in the world.

Current advances in technology have enabled machines to learn fashion, retail, and other skills that may contain uncommon languages; hence, the tools and applications may not yield the best possible outcomes and might have to re-educate the algorithms.

Researchers at MIT and from different other places have found a way to tackle this drawback by creating an easy method that reduces the complexity faced by an advanced speech learning type, facilitating it to run super carefully and with great efficiency.

How are they solving the problem?

Their method includes eradicating pointless portions of a common, yet complex, speech recognition model, resulting in eliminating minor mistakes that allow the machine to acknowledge a particular language. Just by introducing small effective tweaks to a larger and complex process, the entire system has become extremely convenient and time-saving. The developers can now efficiently teach these models several uncommon languages and change the system as and when required.

Experts believe that this has turned out to be a problem-solving technology that is crucial to unravel the purity of the different unknown languages in the world.

The researchers have also studied new technologies that would enable the machines to learn speech from raw audio. This tool is called Wave2vec 2.0. It is a self-supervised learning model that recognizes spoken language after it is fed with unlabelled speech.

These are small steps towards building efficient, secure, and effective communicating models for everyone in the world.
