3.1 Masking

  1. How does wav2vec 2.0 mask its input?
    In latent space: sample a proportion \(p\) of time steps as span starts (without replacement) and mask the following \(M\) steps, replacing them with one shared learned vector; spans may overlap. With \(p = 0.065\), \(M = 10\), about 49% of steps are masked, mean span about 300 ms. Inputs to the quantizer are not masked.
