Transducers

There are various folders containing the name transducer in this folder. The following table lists the differences among them.

	Encoder	Decoder	Comment
transducer_stateless	Conformer	Embedding + Conv1d	with k2.rnnt_loss
transducer_stateless_modified	Conformer	Embedding + Conv1d	with modified transducer from optimized_transducer
transducer_stateless_modified-2	Conformer	Embedding + Conv1d	with modified transducer from optimized_transducer + extra data
pruned_transducer_stateless3	Conformer (reworked)	Embedding + Conv1d	pruned RNN-T + reworked model with random combiner + using aidatatang_20zh as extra data

The decoder in transducer_stateless is modified from the paper Rnn-Transducer with Stateless Prediction Network. We place an additional Conv1d layer right after the input embedding layer.
