This paper describes the tree-structured maximum mutual information (MMI) encoders used in SSrs Phonetic Engine ® to perform large-vocabulary, continuous speech recognition. The MMI encoders are arranged into a two-stage …...

Sequence-to-sequence neural network models for generation of conversational responses tend to generate safe, commonplace responses (e.g., I don’t know) regardless of the input. We sug- gest that the traditional objective …...
