The Effectiveness of Unsupervised Subword Modeling With Autoregressive and Cross-Lingual Phone-Aware Networks

This study addresses unsupervised subword modeling, i.e., learning acoustic feature representations that can distinguish between subword units of a language. We propose a two-stage learning framework that combines self-supervised learning and cross-lingual knowledge transfer. The framework consists...
