Fassarar Magana ta Atomatik Daga Ƙarshe zuwa Ƙarshe na Littattafan Audio: Tarin Bayanai, Tsare-tsare da Bincike

1. Gabatarwa

Tsarin Fassarar Harshen Magana na gargajiya yana da sassa daban-daban, yawanci yana haɗa Tsinkayar Magana ta Atomatik (ASR) da Fassarar Injin (MT). Wannan takarda tana ƙalubalantar wannan tsari ta hanyar binciken fassarar magana zuwa rubutu daga ƙarshe zuwa ƙarshe (E2E), inda tsari guda ɗaya kai tsaye yake danganta maganar harshen tushe da rubutun harshen manufa. Aikin ya ginu a kan ƙoƙarin da aka yi a baya, gami da aikin marubutan kan maganar roba, kuma ya faɗaɗa shi zuwa babban tarin bayanai na littattafan audio na ainihi a duniya. Babban gudunmawar shine binciken yanayin horo na tsaka-tsaki inda fassarar tushe ke samuwa kawai a lokacin horo, ba a lokacin warwarewa ba, da nufin samar da tsare-tsare masu ƙarfi da inganci.

2. Tarin Bayanai na Littattafan Audio don Fassarar Magana Daga Ƙarshe zuwa Ƙarshe

Babban cikas ga fassarar magana E2E shine rashin manyan tarin bayanai masu haɗin gwiwa da jama'a ke samu waɗanda ke haɗa maganar tushe da rubutun manufa. Wannan aikin yana magance wannan ta hanyar ƙirƙira da amfani da sigar tarin bayanai na LibriSpeech da aka ƙarfafa.

3. Tsare-tsare Daga Ƙarshe zuwa Ƙarshe

Takardar tana binciken tsare-tsaren E2E waɗanda suka dogara ne akan tsarin jeri-zuwa-jeri, mai yiwuwa suna amfani da tsarin maɓalli-mai-warwarewa tare da hanyoyin kulawa. Mai maɓalli yana sarrafa sifofin sauti (misali, bankunan tace log-mel), kuma mai warwarewa yana samar da alamun rubutun harshen manufa. Babban ƙirƙira shine tsarin horo:

• Yanayi 1 (Matsananci): Ba a yi amfani da fassarar tushe a lokacin horo ko warwarewa ba (yanayin harshe mara rubutu).
• Yanayi 2 (Tsaka-tsaki): Fassarar tushe tana samuwa kawai a lokacin horo. An horar da tsarin don yin taswira magana kai tsaye zuwa rubutu amma yana iya amfani da fassarar a matsayin siginar kulawa ta taimako ko ta hanyar koyo mai ayyuka da yawa. Wannan yana nufin samar da tsari guda ɗaya, mai ƙarfi don turawa.

4. Kimantawar Gwaji

An kimanta tsare-tsare akan tarin bayanai guda biyu: 1) Tarin bayanai na roba na TTS daga aikin da marubuta suka yi a baya [2], da 2) Sabon tarin bayanai na Augmented LibriSpeech na magana ta ainihi. An auna aikin ta amfani da ma'auni na fassarar inji kamar BLEU, tare da kwatanta hanyoyin E2E da matakan gargajiya na haɗakar ASR+MT. Sakamakon yana nufin nuna yuwuwar da yuwuwar samun ingancin tsare-tsaren E2E masu ƙarfi, musamman a cikin yanayin horo na tsaka-tsaki.

5. Ƙarshe

Binciken ya ƙulla cewa yana yiwuwa a horar da tsare-tsaren fassarar magana daga ƙarshe zuwa ƙarshe masu ƙarfi da inganci, musamman lokacin da fassarorin tushe suke samuwa a lokacin horo. An haskaka sakin tarin bayanai na Augmented LibriSpeech a matsayin babbar gudunmawa ga fannin, yana ba da ma'auni don bincike na gaba. Aikin yana ƙarfafa al'umma don ƙalubalantar matakan da aka gabatar da su da kuma ƙara bincika tsarin fassarar magana kai tsaye.

6. Fahimtar Mai Bincike na Tsaki

Fahimta ta Tsaki: Wannan takarda ba kawai game da gina wani tsarin fassara ba ne; wasa ne na dabara don sanya tsarin bayanai ya zama kayan amfani da kuma ƙalubalantar ikon gine-gine na tsarin haɗakarwa. Ta hanyar sakin babban tarin bayanai masu haɗin gwiwa, masu tsabta, na magana ta ainihi, marubuta suna rage ƙalubalen shiga ga binciken E2E da gaske, da nufin canza tsakiyar nauyin fannin. Mayar da hankalinsu kan yanayin horo na "tsaka-tsaki" shine yarda da gaskiya cewa koyo mai tsabta daga ƙarshe zuwa ƙarshe daga magana zuwa rubutun waje yana ci gaba da zama mai buƙatar bayanai sosai; suna caca cewa amfani da fassarori a matsayin maƙarƙashiyar lokacin horo shine mafi saurin hanyar zuwa tsare-tsare masu yuwuwa, masu iya turawa.

Kwararar Ma'ana: Hujjar tana ci gaba da daidaitaccen daidaito: (1) Gano babban cikas (rashin bayanai), (2) Ƙirƙirar mafita (ƙarfafa LibriSpeech), (3) Gabatar da bambancin tsari mai aiki (horon tsaka-tsaki) wanda ke daidaita tsafta da aiki, (4) Kafa ma'auni na jama'a don haɓaka gasa. Wannan ba bincike ne na bincike ba; matsawa ce da aka ƙididdige don ayyana ma'auni na gaba.

Ƙarfi & Kurakurai: Ƙarfin ba shakku ne: tarin bayanai kyauta ce ta gaske ga al'umma kuma za a ambaci su shekaru da yawa. Hanyar fasaha tana da hankali. Kurakurai, duk da haka, yana cikin alkawarin da aka nuna na tsare-tsare "masu ƙarfi da inganci". Takardar ta yi watsi da ƙalubalen ƙirar sauti, daidaitawar mai magana, da ƙarfin hayaniyar da tsarin haɗakarwa ke sarrafawa a cikin matakai daban-daban, waɗanda aka inganta. Kamar yadda aka lura a cikin babban aiki akan wakilcin da aka warware kamar CycleGAN, koyon taswirar tsakanin nau'i-nau'i kai tsaye (audio zuwa rubutu) ba tare da ingantattun wakilci na tsaka-tsaki ba na iya haifar da tsare-tsare masu rauni waɗanda suka gaza a wajen yanayin dakin gwaje-gwaje da aka tsara. Hanyar tsaka-tsaki na iya zama kawai tana jujjuya sarƙaƙiya zuwa sararin ɓoye na hanyar sadarwar jijiya guda ɗaya, yana sa ya zama maras fassara da wahalar gyarawa.

Fahimta Mai Aiki: Ga ƙungiyoyin samfur, abin da za a ɗauka shine saka idanu kan wannan hanyar E2E amma kar a yi watsi da gine-ginen haɗakarwa tukuna. Tsarin "tsaka-tsaki" shine wanda za a gwada shi don ƙayyadaddun amfani da sauti mai tsabta (misali, littattafan audio da aka yi rikodin a ɗakin studio, podcasts). Ga masu bincike, umarni a bayyane yake: yi amfani da wannan tarin bayanai don gwada waɗannan tsare-tsare. Yi ƙoƙarin karya su da magana mai laushi, hayaniyar baya, ko jawabi mai tsayi. Gwaji na gaske ba zai zama BLEU akan LibriSpeech ba, amma akan ɗimbin sautin duniya na ainihi, wanda ba a iya faɗi ba. Mai nasara na gaba bazai zama tsari mai tsabta na E2E ba, amma haɗakar da ke koyon haɗa ko ketare wakilcin tsaka-tsaki a hankali, ra'ayi da aka nuna a cikin wallafe-wallafen binciken gine-ginen jijiya.

7. Cikakkun Bayanai na Fasaha & Tsarin Lissafi

Za a iya tsara tsarin daga ƙarshe zuwa ƙarshe a matsayin matsalar koyo daga jeri zuwa jeri. Bari $X = (x_1, x_2, ..., x_T)$ ya zama jerin ƙirar sifofin sauti (misali, log-mel spectrograms) don maganar tushe. Bari $Y = (y_1, y_2, ..., y_U)$ ya zama jerin alamun rubutu a cikin harshen manufa.

Tsarin yana nufin koyon yuwuwar sharadi $P(Y | X)$ kai tsaye. Ta amfani da tsarin maɓalli-mai-warwarewa tare da kulawa, tsarin shine:

1. Mai Maɓalli: Yana sarrafa jerin shigarwa $X$ zuwa jerin jihohin ɓoye $H = (h_1, ..., h_T)$. $$ h_t = \text{EncoderRNN}(x_t, h_{t-1}) $$ Sau da yawa, ana amfani da RNN mai biyu ko Transformer.
2. Kulawa: A kowane mataki na mai warwarewa $u$, ana ƙididdige vector na mahallin $c_u$ a matsayin jimlar nauyin jihohin maɓalli $H$, yana mai da hankali kan sassan da suka dace na siginar sauti. $$ c_u = \sum_{t=1}^{T} \alpha_{u,t} h_t $$ $$ \alpha_{u,t} = \text{align}(s_{u-1}, h_t) $$ inda $s_{u-1}$ shine jihar mai warwarewa ta baya kuma $\alpha_{u,t}$ shine nauyin kulawa.
3. Mai Warwarewa: Yana samar da alamar manufa $y_u$ dangane da alamar da ta gabata $y_{u-1}$, jihar mai warwarewa $s_u$, da mahallin $c_u$. $$ s_u = \text{DecoderRNN}([y_{u-1}; c_u], s_{u-1}) $$ $$ P(y_u | y_{

A cikin yanayin horo na tsaka-tsaki, za a iya horar da tsarin tare da manufa mai ayyuka da yawa, tare da haɗa ingantaccen fassarar magana zuwa rubutu da, zaɓi, gane magana (ta amfani da fassarar tushe da ake da ita $Z$): $$ \mathcal{L} = \lambda \cdot \mathcal{L}_{ST}(Y|X) + (1-\lambda) \cdot \mathcal{L}_{ASR}(Z|X) $$ inda $\lambda$ ke sarrafa daidaito tsakanin ayyukan biyu. Wannan aikin na taimako yana aiki azaman mai daidaitawa kuma yana jagorantar mai maɓalli don koyon mafi kyawun wakilcin sauti.

• Ƙirƙirar Gine-gine: Binciken mafi kyawun gine-gine yana ci gaba. Transformers sun mamaye, amma bambance-bambancen inganci (Conformers, Branchformer) da hanyoyin sadarwar jijiya masu ƙarfi waɗanda za su iya yanke shawarar lokacin da za su "samar da alamar tsaka-tsaki" (sauƙaƙan sigar haɗakarwa) sune iyakoki masu ban sha'awa, kamar yadda aka bincika a cikin bincike daga cibiyoyi kamar Jami'ar Carnegie Mellon da Google Brain.
