SpeechBrain: Unifying Speech Technologies and Deep Learning With an Open Source Toolkit
By T. Parcollet

T. Parcollet presents SpeechBrain to ADASP.

Abstract

SpeechBrain is a novel open-source speech toolkit natively designed to support various speech and audio processing applications. It currently supports a large variety of tasks, such as speech recognition, speech translation, speaker recognition, speech enhancement, speech separation, spoken language understanding, multi-microphone signal processing, just to name a few. With this presentation, we will navigate throughout all the design choices, core details and simple examples making of SpeechBrain the best speech toolkit out there for open, accessible, replicable and transparent speech technologies.
