Upgrade Your Speech Recognition Models with Large Scale Data

The data shows that the global smart voice market will grow from US$11.03 billion in 2017 to US$26.39 billion in 2021, and the global smart voice industry will reach US$35.12 billion in 2022, maintaining a high growth rate of 33.1%. It is expected to reach US$39.92 billion in 2023.

In the past ten years, speech recognition technology has made great progress. Continuous speech and non-specific real-time speech recognition systems have been successfully developed and developed in the laboratory. A large number of speech recognition technologies have entered the stage of implementation . However, the actual application scenarios of speech recognition face various challenges. In summary, the challenges mainly include three aspects: robustness, low resources, and complex scenarios.

Typical problems of robustness include accents and dialects, mixed or multilingual languages, domain adaptation, etc. Low resources refer to scenarios where system deployment resources are limited and annotation data is scarce. The former is typically the deployment of various end-side devices in AIoT scenarios The limitation of model size and computing power, and the lack of training data are also key factors that limit the development of speech recognition in various vertical domains and languages.

In order to solve the problem of lack of speech recognition data, Nexdata has designed and developed 200,000 hours of speech recognition datasets, including more than 60 languages and dialects, such as Chinese Mandarin, English, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Vietnamese, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese .
