In this paper, we demonstrate the efficacy of transfer learning and continuous learning for various automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks. We start with a pre-trained English ASR model and show that transfer learning can be effectively and easily performed on: (1) different English accents, (2) different languages (German, Spanish and Russian) and (3) application-specific domains. Our experiments demonstrate that in all three cases, transfer learning from a good base model has higher accuracy than a model trained from scratch. It is preferred to fine-tune large models than small pre-trained models, even if the dataset for fine-tuning is small. Moreover, transfer learning significantly speeds up convergence for both very small and very large target datasets.
