How to Leverage Synthetic Speech for LLM-Based ASR Systems?

Yanis Labrak, Dairazalia Sanchez-Cortes, Sergio Burdisso +9

In regulated domains such as banking and healthcare, where privacy constraints make real speech costly to collect and retain, synthetic speech from modern text-to-speech (TTS) is a…

Closing the Speech-Text Gap with Limited Audio for Effective Domain Adaptation in LLM-Based ASR

Thibault Bañeras-Roux, Sergio Burdisso, Esaú Villatoro-Tello +9

Conventional end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems rely on paired speech-text data for domain adaptation. Recent LLM-based ASR architectures connect a speech encode…

Text-only adaptation in LLM-based ASR through text denoising

Andrés Carofilis, Sergio Burdisso, Esaú Villatoro-Tello +8

Adapting large language model (LLM)-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems to new domains using text-only data is a significant yet underexplored challenge. Standard fine…

Reducing Prompt Sensitivity in LLM-based Speech Recognition Through Learnable Projection

Sergio Burdisso, Esaú Villatoro-Tello, Shashi Kumar +7

LLM-based automatic speech recognition (ASR), a well-established approach, connects speech foundation models to large language models (LLMs) through a speech-to-LLM projector, yiel…

Slot Filling as a Reasoning Task for SpeechLLMs

Kadri Hacioglu, Manjunath K E, Andreas Stolcke

We propose integration of reasoning into speech large language models (speechLLMs) for the end-to-end slot-filling task. Inspired by the recent development of reasoning LLMs, we us…
