Ann is a Research Engineer at Facebook AI Research (FAIR), focusing on speech recognition. She earned a Ph.D. at MIT's Spoken Language Systems group, where she worked on computer-assisted pronunciation training and mispronunciation detection in non-native speech.
We propose a fully convolutional sequence-to-sequence encoder architecture with a simple and efficient decoder. Our model improves WER on LibriSpeech while being an order of magnitude more efficient than a strong RNN baseline. Key to our…
