Revisiting speech segmentation and lexicon learning with better features
We revisit a self-supervised method that segments unlabelled speech into word-like segments. We start from the two-stage duration-penalised dynamic programming method that performs zero-resource segmentation without learning an explicit lexicon. In the first acoustic unit discovery stage, we replace contrastive predictive coding features with HuBERT. After word segmentation in the second stage, we get an acoustic word embedding for each segment by averaging HuBERT features. These embeddings are clustered using K-means to get a lexicon. The result is good full-coverage segmentation with a lexicon that achieves state-of-the-art performance on the ZeroSpeech benchmarks.
