Back End

"Back-end" in various applications refers to the post-processing stage of data analysis, following initial feature extraction or signal processing. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy and robustness of back-end models, particularly in speech recognition and speaker verification, using techniques like neural networks (including transformers and graph neural networks), probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA), and ensemble methods. These advancements aim to enhance the performance of systems operating in challenging acoustic environments or with limited training data, leading to more reliable and efficient applications in areas such as voice assistants, security systems, and robotics.
