Research Experience
- Currently collaborating with Prof. Shinji Watanabe at Honda Research Institute Japan on end-to-end speech recognition.
- Contributed to the Open Whisper-style Speech Model (OWSM) project with Carnegie Mellon University’s Language Technologies Institute.
- Enhanced OWSM with E-Branchformer and developed non-autoregressive OWSM-CTC for improved speed and robustness.
- Pioneered contextual ASR techniques including dynamic vocabularies, intermediate biasing losses, and bias phrase boosted (BPB) beam search.
- Co-developed the unified 4D ASR model integrating CTC, Attention, RNN-T, and Mask-CTC decoders.
- Worked on jointly optimizing streaming and non-streaming ASR and model compression techniques (e.g., joint distillation and pruning in DPHuBERT).
