| contents | The mismatch of speech length and text length poses a challenge in automatic speech recognition (ASR). In previous research, various approaches have been employed to align text with speech, including the utilization of Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC). In earlier work, a key frame mechanism (KFDS) was introduced, utilizing intermediate CTC outputs to guide downsampling and preserve keyframes, but traditional methods (CTC) failed to align speech and text appropriately when downsampling speech to a text-similar length. In this paper, we focus on speech recognition in those cases where the length of speech aligns closely with that of the corresponding text. To address this issue, we introduce two methods for alignment: a) Time Independence Loss (TIL) and b) Aligned Cross Entropy (AXE) Loss, which is based on edit distance. To enhance the information on keyframes, we incorporate frame fusion by applying weights and summing the keyframe with its context 2 frames. Experimental results on AISHELL-1 and AISHELL-2 dataset subsets show that the proposed methods outperform the previous work and achieve a reduction of at least 86\% in the number of frames. |
