Over six months, contributed to rwth-i6/i6_experiments by developing and optimizing advanced streaming speech recognition systems. Focused on real-time ASR, the work included building streamable CTC and RNN-T models, introducing causal convolutional layers, and implementing quantization-aware training for efficient deployment. Leveraged Python and PyTorch to refactor model architectures, enhance experiment infrastructure, and improve latency and reliability in streaming inference. Addressed stability through targeted bug fixes and configuration management, while enabling reproducible experimentation and scalable pipelines. The engineering approach emphasized modular code organization, robust experiment tooling, and production-readiness, resulting in a more efficient and maintainable speech recognition research framework.

Oct 1, 2025October 2025 monthly summary for rwth-i6/i6_experiments: Delivered a streamable CTC baseline for real-time streaming without Quantization Aware Training (QAT), with refactoring to support streaming inference and training and new configurations/modules to improve real-time efficiency and applicability of the CTC model. Implemented stability and correctness fixes for no_qat_baseline streaming configurations, including adjustments to chunk sizes, updated checkpoint retrieval logic, and corrected module configurations for attention and feed-forward layers to enhance reliability of streaming QAT experiments. These efforts increased real-time deployment readiness, improved streaming reliability, and strengthened the streaming experiment framework.
