Investigating Training Strategies and Model Robustness of Low-Rank Adaptation for Language Modeling in Speech Recognition

Yu Yu, Chao-Han Huck Yang, Tuan Dinh +10

The use of low-rank adaptation (LoRA) with frozen pretrained language models (PLMs) has become increasing popular as a mainstream, resource-efficient modeling approach for memory-c…

Low-rank Adaptation of Large Language Model Rescoring for Parameter-Efficient Speech Recognition

Yu Yu, Chao-Han Huck Yang, Jari Kolehmainen +15

We propose a neural language modeling system based on low-rank adaptation (LoRA) for speech recognition output rescoring. Although pretrained language models (LMs) like BERT have s…

PROCTER: PROnunciation-aware ConTextual adaptER for personalized speech recognition in neural transducers

Rahul Pandey, Roger Ren, Qi Luo +7

End-to-End (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems used in voice assistants often have difficulties recognizing infrequent words personalized to the user, such as names an…

Incentivizing Consistent, Effective and Scalable Reasoning Capability in Audio LLMs via Reasoning Process Rewards

Jiajun Fan, Roger Ren, Jingyuan Li +6

The role of reasoning in Audio Large Language Models remains widely underexplored, as introducing a reasoning process often degrades rather than improves performance during inferen…

Mitigating Closed-model Adversarial Examples with Bayesian Neural Modeling for Enhanced End-to-End Speech Recognition

Chao-Han Huck Yang, Zeeshan Ahmed, Yile Gu +5

In this work, we aim to enhance the system robustness of end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) against adversarially-noisy speech examples. We focus on a rigorous and empir…
