Abstract: Systems and methods for speech validation in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a method for validating speech. The method includes steps for encoding a set of audio data, processing a set of target data, wherein the target data includes a sequence of target elements associated with the set of audio data, computing a set of one or more alignment probabilities for each target element of the sequence of target elements, performing temporal resolution based on the computed set of alignment probabilities to determine an alignment between the set of target data and the set of audio data.
