Deep Learning for On-Device Voice Interfaces
FY 2018-19 · 2018-09-01
Summary
Deep learning has delivered significant improvements over traditional speech recognition methods. Its use for on-device processing has been limited due to high computation/memory requirements. We aim to develop new methods to reduce CPU/memory footprint of deep learning models used for building on-device voice interfaces.

Description (French)
L'apprentissage en profondeur a apporté des améliorations significatives par rapport aux méthodes de reconnaissance vocale traditionnelles. Son utilisation pour le traitement sur dispositif a été limitée en raison des exigences de calcul / mémoire élevées. Notre objectif est de développer de nouvelles méthodes pour réduire l'encombrement du processeur et de la mémoire grâce aux modèles d'apprentissage en profondeur utilisés pour la construction d'interfaces vocales sur dispositif.
