LeVoice ASR Systems for the ISCSLP 2022 Intelligent Cockpit Speech Recognition Challenge

This paper describes LeVoice automatic speech recognition systems to track2 of intelligent cockpit speech recognition challenge 2022. Track2 is a speech recognition task without limits on the scope of model size. Our main points include deep learning based speech enhancement, text-to-speech based speech generation, training data augmentation via various techniques and speech recognition model fusion. We compared and fused the hybrid architecture and two kinds of end-to-end architecture. For end-to-end modeling, we used models based on connectionist temporal classification/attention-based encoder-decoder architecture and recurrent neural network transducer/attention-based encoder-decoder architecture. The performance of these models is evaluated with an additional language model to improve word error rates. As a result, our system achieved 10.2\% character error rate on the challenge test set data and ranked third place among the submitted systems in the challenge.
