EFFICIENT AUTOMATIC PUNCTUATION WITH ROBUST INFERENCE

A system and method of operating a system for automatically punctuating text using non-recurrent neural networks is disclosed. The system and method at least: applying a text string to a first component of a non-recurrent neural network trained to generate one or more contextualized vectors, wherein the first component determines the contextualized vectors by processing each word in the text string in parallel with one another; applying the contextualized vectors to a second component of the non-recurrent neural network trained to generate a set of probability values for each word in the text string, wherein the second component determines the set of probability values by processing the contextualized vectors in parallel with one another; and transmitting the set of probability values to a text generation engine to generate a formatted text string based on the set of probability values.
