> Abstract: This paper presents XLSR which learns cross-lingual speech
> representations by pretraining a single model from the raw waveform of speech
> in multiple languages. We build on wav2vec 2.0 which is trained by solving a
> contrastive task over masked latent speech representations and jointly learns
> a quantization of the latents shared across languages. The resulting model is
> fine-tuned on labeled data and experiments show that cross-lingual pretraining
> significantly outperforms monolingual pretraining. On the CommonVoice
> benchmark, XLSR shows a relative phoneme error rate reduction of 72% compared
> to the best known results. On BABEL, our approach improves word error rate by
> 16% relative compared to a comparable system. Our approach enables a single
> multilingual speech recognition model which is competitive to strong
> individual models. Analysis shows that the latent discrete speech
> representations are shared across languages with increased sharing for related
> languages. We hope to catalyze research in low-resource speech understanding
> by releasing XLSR-53, a large model pretrained in 53 languages.
