  • Publication number: 20250095637
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a textual prompt in a first language and obtaining a fine-tuned prompt embedding configured to guide a large language model (LLM) to generate text in a target language from textual prompts in the first language. The method also includes processing, using the LLM, the textual prompt conditioned on the fine-tuned prompt embedding to generate output text in the target language and concatenating the textual prompt and the generated output text to provide an unspoken textual utterance. The method also includes training a multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR) model to learn how to recognize speech in the target language by injecting the unspoken textual utterance into a text encoder associated with the multilingual ASR model.

  • Patent number: 12244689
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for vertical federated learning. In multiple participation nodes deployed in a multi-way tree topology, an upper-layer participation node corresponds to k lower-layer participation nodes. After the upper-layer participation node and the k lower-layer participation nodes exchange public keys with each other, the upper-layer participation node performs secure two-party joint computation with the lower-layer participation nodes with a first public key and second public keys as encryption parameters to obtain k two-party joint outputs of a federated model. Further, the upper-layer participation node aggregates the k two-party joint outputs to obtain a first joint model output corresponding to the federated model. As such, a multi-way tree topology deployment-based vertical federated learning architecture is provided, improving the equality of each participation node in a vertical federated learning process.
