Introduction

Please refer to https://icefall.readthedocs.io/en/latest/recipes/Non-streaming-ASR/aishell/index.html for how to run models in this recipe.

Transducers

There are various folders containing the name transducer in this folder. The following table lists the differences among them.

	Encoder	Decoder	Comment
transducer_stateless	Conformer	Embedding + Conv1d	with k2.rnnt_loss
transducer_stateless_modified	Conformer	Embedding + Conv1d	with modified transducer from optimized_transducer
transducer_stateless_modified-2	Conformer	Embedding + Conv1d	with modified transducer from optimized_transducer + extra data
pruned_transducer_stateless3	Conformer (reworked)	Embedding + Conv1d	pruned RNN-T + reworked model with random combiner + using aidatatang_20zh as extra data

The decoder in transducer_stateless is modified from the paper Rnn-Transducer with Stateless Prediction Network. We place an additional Conv1d layer right after the input embedding layer.
