[EN] This paper describes the automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems built by the MLLP-VRAIN research group of Universitat Politecnica de València for the Albayzin-RTVE 2020 Speech-to-Text Challenge. The primary system (p-streaming_1500ms_nlt) was a hybrid BLSTM-HMM ASR system using streaming one-pass decoding with a context window of 1.5 seconds and a linear combination of an n-gram, a LSTM, and a Transformer language model (LM). The acoustic model was trained on nearly 4,000 hours of speech data from different sources, using the MLLP's transLectures-UPV toolkit (TLK) and TensorFlow; whilst LMs were trained using SRILM (n-gram), CUED-RNNLM (LSTM) and Fairseq (Transformer), with up to 102G tokens. This system achieved 11.6% and 16.0% WER on the test-2018 and test-2020 sets, respectively. As it is streaming-enabled, it could be put into production environments for automatic captioning of live media streams, with a theoretical delay of 1.5 seconds. Along with the primary system, we also submitted three contrastive systems. From these, we highlight the system c2-streaming_600ms_t that, following the same configuration of the primary one, but using a smaller context window of 0.6 seconds and a Transformer LM, scored 12.3% and 16.9% WER points respectively on the same test sets, with a measured empirical latency of 0.81+-0.09 seconds (mean+-stdev). This is, we obtained state-of-the-art latencies for high-quality automatic live captioning with a small WER degradation of 6% relative.

[CA] "Europarl-ASR: Un extens corpus parlamentari de referència per a reconeixement de la parla i filtratge/literalització de transcripcions": Presentem Europarl-ASR, un extens corpus de veu i text de debats parlamentaris amb 1300 hores d'intervencions transcrites i 70 milions de paraules de text en anglés extrets de sessions del Parlament Europeu. Les transcripcions oficials del Parlament Europeu, no literals, s'han sincronitzat per a tot el conjunt d'entrenament. Com que l'entrenament de models acústics requereix transcripcions com més literals millor, també s'han inclòs transcripcions filtrades i transcripcions literalitzades de totes les intervencions, basades en tècniques de filtratge i literalització automàtics. A més, s'han inclòs 18 hores de transcripcions literals revisades manualment per definir dos conjunts de validació i avaluació de referència per a reconeixement automàtic de la parla en temps real, amb oradors coneguts i amb oradors desconeguts. Pel fet de disposar de transcripcions literals i no literals, aquest corpus és també ideal per a l'anàlisi de tècniques de filtratge i de literalització. En aquest article, es descriu la creació del corpus i es proporcionen mesures de referència de reconeixement automàtic de la parla en temps real i en diferit, amb oradors coneguts i amb oradors desconeguts, usant els tres conjunts de transcripcions d'entrenament. El corpus es fa públic amb una llicència oberta.
