We have made a Norwegian, 5000+ hour dataset for weak supervision ASR (e.g. Whisper) by aligning audio from the Norwegian parliament with the official parliamentary proceedings

We present a study on optimizing the variability of training material for ASR when the linguistic resources are limited.

We propose new, data-efficient training tasks for BERT models that improve performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems on conversational speech.
Pablo Ortiz, Simen Burud
We investigate the problem of speaker independent acoustic-to-articulatory inversion (AAI) in noisy conditions within the deep neural network (DNN) framework.

The Norwegian Parliamentary Speech Corpus (NPSC) is the first, publicly available dataset containing unscripted, Norwegian speech designed for training of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. The NPSC-trained system performed significantly better, with a 22.9% relative improvement in word error rate (WER) and a “democratizing” effect in terms of dialects.
