A Streaming On-Device End-to-End Model Surpassing Server-Side Conventional Model Quality and Latency

no code implementations28 Mar 2020 Tara N. Sainath, Yanzhang He, Bo Li, Arun Narayanan, Ruoming Pang, Antoine Bruguier, Shuo-Yiin Chang, Wei Li, Raziel Alvarez, Zhifeng Chen, Chung-Cheng Chiu, David Garcia, Alex Gruenstein, Ke Hu, Minho Jin, Anjuli Kannan, Qiao Liang, Ian McGraw, Cal Peyser, Rohit Prabhavalkar, Golan Pundak, David Rybach, Yuan Shangguan, Yash Sheth, Trevor Strohman, Mirko Visontai, Yonghui Wu, Yu Zhang, Ding Zhao

Thus far, end-to-end (E2E) models have not been shown to outperform state-of-the-art conventional models with respect to both quality, i. e., word error rate (WER), and latency, i. e., the time the hypothesis is finalized after the user stops speaking.
