Vimarsha: Faithful ASR Evaluation for Indian Languages with Demographic Diversity, In-the-Wild Audio and Spelling Variations
Kaushal Santosh Bhogale, Srija Anand, Sadakopa Ramakrishnan Thothathiri +3
Evaluation benchmarks for Indian language automatic speech recognition (ASR) suffer from two systematic biases: optimistic scores from clean, controlled audio conditions, and pessi…
Indic DiarBench: A Multilingual Joint Diarization and ASR Benchmark for Indian Languages
Deovrat Mehendale, Aditya Mehndiratta, Dhruv Rathi +2
In this work, we introduce Indic DiarBench, a speaker diarization and ASR benchmark dataset spanning all 22 scheduled languages of India. This corpus comprises approximately 108 ho…
IndicContextEval: A Benchmark for Evaluating Context Utilisation in Audio Large Language Models Across 8 Indic Languages
Sakshi Joshi, Dhruv Subhash Rathi, Sanskar Singh +4
AudioLLMs enable speech recognition conditioned on textual prompts such as domain descriptions or entity lists. However, it remains unclear whether these models genuinely utilise s…
Voice of India: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Real-World Speech Recognition in India
Kaushal Bhogale, Manas Dhir, Amritansh Walecha +11
Existing Indic ASR benchmarks often use scripted, clean speech and leaderboard driven evaluation that encourages dataset specific overfitting. In addition, strict single reference…
Towards Orthographically-Informed Evaluation of Speech Recognition Systems for Indian Languages
Kaushal Santosh Bhogale, Tahir Javed, Greeshma Susan John +4
Evaluating ASR systems for Indian languages is challenging due to spelling variations, suffix splitting flexibility, and non-standard spellings in code-mixed words. Traditional Wor…
NIRANTAR: Continual Learning with New Languages and Domains on Real-world Speech Data
Tahir Javed, Kaushal Bhogale, Mitesh M. Khapra
We introduce Nirantar, a comprehensive framework for evaluating continual learning (CL) in multilingual and multi-domain ASR. Designed to reflect real-world CL challenges, Nirantar…
Recognizing Every Voice: Towards Inclusive ASR for Rural Bhojpuri Women
Sakshi Joshi, Eldho Ittan George, Tahir Javed +3
Digital inclusion remains a challenge for marginalized communities, especially rural women in low-resource language regions like Bhojpuri. Voice-based access to agricultural servic…
Empowering Low-Resource Language ASR via Large-Scale Pseudo Labeling
Kaushal Santosh Bhogale, Deovrat Mehendale, Niharika Parasa +4
In this study, we tackle the challenge of limited labeled data for low-resource languages in ASR, focusing on Hindi. Specifically, we explore pseudo-labeling, by proposing a generi…
LAHAJA: A Robust Multi-accent Benchmark for Evaluating Hindi ASR Systems
Tahir Javed, Janki Nawale, Sakshi Joshi +4
Hindi, one of the most spoken language of India, exhibits a diverse array of accents due to its usage among individuals from diverse linguistic origins. To enable a robust evaluati…
IndicVoices: Towards building an Inclusive Multilingual Speech Dataset for Indian Languages
Tahir Javed, Janki Atul Nawale, Eldho Ittan George +18
We present INDICVOICES, a dataset of natural and spontaneous speech containing a total of 7348 hours of read (9%), extempore (74%) and conversational (17%) audio from 16237 speaker…
Svarah: Evaluating English ASR Systems on Indian Accents
Tahir Javed, Sakshi Joshi, Vignesh Nagarajan +6
India is the second largest English-speaking country in the world with a speaker base of roughly 130 million. Thus, it is imperative that automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems…
Vistaar: Diverse Benchmarks and Training Sets for Indian Language ASR
Kaushal Santosh Bhogale, Sai Sundaresan, Abhigyan Raman +3
Improving ASR systems is necessary to make new LLM-based use-cases accessible to people across the globe. In this paper, we focus on Indian languages, and make the case that divers…
Towards Efficient and Effective Self-Supervised Learning of Visual Representations
Sravanti Addepalli, Kaushal Bhogale, Priyam Dey +1
Self-supervision has emerged as a propitious method for visual representation learning after the recent paradigm shift from handcrafted pretext tasks to instance-similarity based a…
Effectiveness of Mining Audio and Text Pairs from Public Data for Improving ASR Systems for Low-Resource Languages
Kaushal Santosh Bhogale, Abhigyan Raman, Tahir Javed +4
End-to-end (E2E) models have become the default choice for state-of-the-art speech recognition systems. Such models are trained on large amounts of labelled data, which are often n…
IndicSUPERB: A Speech Processing Universal Performance Benchmark for Indian languages
Tahir Javed, Kaushal Santosh Bhogale, Abhigyan Raman +3
A cornerstone in AI research has been the creation and adoption of standardized training and test datasets to earmark the progress of state-of-the-art models. A particularly succes…
