End2End Acoustic to Semantic Transduction

Seminar from Valentin Pelloin, PhD student at LIUM   Date: 12/05/2021 Time: 11h00 Localization: online Speaker: Valentin Pelloin   End2End Acoustic to Semantic Transduction   We propose a novel end-to-end sequence-to-sequence spoken language understanding model using an attention mechanism. It reliably selects contextual acoustic features in order to hypothesize semantic contents. An initial architecture capable […]
