A Platform for Deploying the TFE Ecosystem of Automatic Speech Recognition

ABSTRACTSince data regulations such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) have taken effect, the traditional two-step Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) optimization strategy (i.e., training a one-size-fits-all model with vendor's centralized data and fine-tuning the model with clients' private data) has become infeasible. To meet these privacy requirements, TFE, a novel GDPR-compliant ASR ecosystem, has been proposed by us to incorporate transfer learning, federated learning, and evolutionary learning towards effective ASR model optimization. In this demonstration, we further design and implement a novel platform to promote the deployment and applicability of TFE. Our proposed platform allows enterprises to easily conduct the ASR optimization task using TFE across organizations.
