Domain Attentive Fusion for End-to-end Dialect Identification with Unknown Target Domain

no code implementations4 Dec 2018 Suwon Shon, Ahmed Ali, James Glass

An important issue for end-to-end systems is to have some knowledge of the application domain, because the system can be vulnerable to use cases that were not seen in the training phase; such a scenario is often referred to as a domain mismatched condition.
