FLiP: Towards understanding and interpreting multimodal multilingual sentence embeddings

Santosh Kesiraju, Bolaji Yusuf, Šimon Sedláček +2

This paper presents factorized linear projection (FLiP) models for understanding pretrained sentence embedding spaces. We train FLiP models to recover the lexical content from mult…

ORCA: Open-ended Response Correctness Assessment for Audio Question Answering

Šimon Sedláček, Sara Barahona, Bolaji Yusuf +9

Reliable assessment of the abilities of large audio language models (LALMs) is essential to advancing the state of the art. As benchmarks rapidly evolve to incorporate complex reas…

Joint Speech and Text Training for LLM-Based End-to-End Spoken Dialogue State Tracking

Katia Vendrame, Bolaji Yusuf, Santosh Kesiraju +3

End-to-end spoken dialogue state tracking (DST) is made difficult by the tandem of having to handle speech input and data scarcity. Combining speech foundation encoders and large l…

DeCRED: Decoder-Centric Regularization for Encoder-Decoder Based Speech Recognition

Alexander Polok, Santosh Kesiraju, Karel Beneš +3

This paper presents a simple yet effective regularization for the internal language model induced by the decoder in encoder-decoder ASR models, thereby improving robustness and gen…

Factors affecting the in-context learning abilities of LLMs for dialogue state tracking

Pradyoth Hegde, Santosh Kesiraju, Jan Švec +5

This study explores the application of in-context learning (ICL) to the dialogue state tracking (DST) problem and investigates the factors that influence its effectiveness. We use…

Approaching Dialogue State Tracking via Aligning Speech Encoders and LLMs

Šimon Sedláček, Bolaji Yusuf, Ján Švec +4

In this work, we approach spoken Dialogue State Tracking (DST) by bridging the representation spaces of speech encoders and LLMs via a small connector module, with a focus on fully…

DiCoW: Diarization-Conditioned Whisper for Target Speaker Automatic Speech Recognition

Alexander Polok, Dominik Klement, Martin Kocour +7

Speaker-attributed automatic speech recognition (ASR) in multi-speaker environments remains a significant challenge, particularly when systems conditioned on speaker embeddings fai…

Pretraining End-to-End Keyword Search with Automatically Discovered Acoustic Units

Bolaji Yusuf, Jan "Honza" Černocký, Murat Saraçlar

End-to-end (E2E) keyword search (KWS) has emerged as an alternative and complimentary approach to conventional keyword search which depends on the output of automatic speech recogn…

Speculative Speech Recognition by Audio-Prefixed Low-Rank Adaptation of Language Models

Bolaji Yusuf, Murali Karthick Baskar, Andrew Rosenberg +1

This paper explores speculative speech recognition (SSR), where we empower conventional automatic speech recognition (ASR) with speculation capabilities, allowing the recognizer to…

Written Term Detection Improves Spoken Term Detection

Bolaji Yusuf, Murat Saraçlar

End-to-end (E2E) approaches to keyword search (KWS) are considerably simpler in terms of training and indexing complexity when compared to approaches which use the output of automa…

End-to-End Open Vocabulary Keyword Search With Multilingual Neural Representations

Bolaji Yusuf, Jan Cernocky, Murat Saraclar

Conventional keyword search systems operate on automatic speech recognition (ASR) outputs, which causes them to have a complex indexing and search pipeline. This has led to interes…

On-the-fly Text Retrieval for End-to-End ASR Adaptation

Bolaji Yusuf, Aditya Gourav, Ankur Gandhe +1

End-to-end speech recognition models are improved by incorporating external text sources, typically by fusion with an external language model. Such language models have to be retra…

USTED: Improving ASR with a Unified Speech and Text Encoder-Decoder

Bolaji Yusuf, Ankur Gandhe, Alex Sokolov

Improving end-to-end speech recognition by incorporating external text data has been a longstanding research topic. There has been a recent focus on training E2E ASR models that ge…

End-to-End Open Vocabulary Keyword Search

Bolaji Yusuf, Alican Gok, Batuhan Gundogdu +1

Recently, neural approaches to spoken content retrieval have become popular. However, they tend to be restricted in their vocabulary or in their ability to deal with imbalanced tes…

Unsupervised Word Segmentation from Discrete Speech Units in Low-Resource Settings

Marcely Zanon Boito, Bolaji Yusuf, Lucas Ondel +2

Documenting languages helps to prevent the extinction of endangered dialects, many of which are otherwise expected to disappear by the end of the century. When documenting oral lan…

A Hierarchical Subspace Model for Language-Attuned Acoustic Unit Discovery

Bolaji Yusuf, Lucas Ondel, Lukas Burget +2

In this work, we propose a hierarchical subspace model for acoustic unit discovery. In this approach, we frame the task as one of learning embeddings on a low-dimensional phonetic…

Bayesian Subspace HMM for the Zerospeech 2020 Challenge

Bolaji Yusuf, Lucas Ondel

In this paper we describe our submission to the Zerospeech 2020 challenge, where the participants are required to discover latent representations from unannotated speech, and to us…
