Abstract: With the development of deep learning technology,  the number of parameters in automatic speech recognition task  models was becoming  increasingly  large, which gradually increased  the computing overhead, storage requirements and power consumption of the models, and it was difficult to deploy on resource-constrained devices. Therefore, it was of great  value to compress the automatic speech recognition models based on deep learning to reduce the size of the modes while maintaining the original performance as much as possible. Aiming at the above problems,  a comprehensive survey was conducted on  the main works in this field in recent years, which was summarized as several methods, including knowledge distillation, model quantization, low-rank decomposition, network pruning, parameter sharing and combination models, and  conducted a systematic review  to  provide alternative solutions for the deployment of models on resource-constrained devices.

Key words: speech recognition, model compression, knowledge distillation, model quantization, low-rank decomposition, network pruning, parameter sharing
