title: Streaming Automatic Speech Recognition with the Transformer Model
abstract: Encoder-decoder based sequence-to-sequence models have demonstrated state-of-the-art results in end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR). Recently, the transformer architecture, which uses self-attention to model temporal context information, has been shown to achieve significantly lower word error rates (WERs) compared to recurrent neural network (RNN) based system architectures. Despite its success, the practical usage is limited to offline ASR tasks, since encoder-decoder architectures t
