Our pick of the week by @DennisFucci: "Speech Representation Analysis Based on Inter- and Intra-Model Similarities" by Yassine El Kheir, Ahmed Ali, and Shammur Absar Chowdhury (ICASSP Workshops 2024)
#speech #speechtech
Findings from https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10669908 show that speech SSL models converge on similar embedding spaces, but via different routes. While overall representations align, individual neurons learn distinct localized concepts.
Interesting read! @fbk_mt
