SummaryMixing: A Linear-Time Complexity Alternative to Self-Attention, to Streaming Speech Recognition with a Streaming and Non-Streaming Conformer Transducer

Practical Solutions for Efficient Automatic Speech Recognition Introduction Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is essential for artificial intelligence, allowing spoken language to be converted into text. It is widely used in virtual assistants, real-time transcription, and voice-activated systems. Challenges and Solutions ASR systems face challenges in efficiently processing long speech utterances, particularly on devices with limited computing resources. To tackle this, researchers have explored methods such as SummaryMixing, which reduces time complexity and integrates seamlessly into the conformer transducer architecture, enhancing efficiency for both streaming and non-streaming applications. Practical Value SummaryMixing significantly improves ASR efficiency while maintaining accuracy. It has demonstrated superior performance on datasets like Librispeech and Voxpopuli, offering scalability and efficiency for real-time ASR applications. Benefits and Implementation SummaryMixing’s linear time complexity, improved word error rate (WER), and reduced memory usage make it suitable for deployment in resource-constrained environments. Its ability to handle both streaming and non-streaming tasks simplifies ASR system deployment across different use cases. Conclusion SummaryMixing represents a significant advancement in ASR technology, addressing key challenges of processing efficiency, memory consumption, and accuracy, making it a practical solution for modern ASR needs.
