Canary-1B-v2 & Parakeet-TDT-0.6B-v3: Efficient and High-Performance Models for Multilingual ASR and AST
Monica Sekoyan, Nithin Rao Koluguri, Nune Tadevosyan +5
This report introduces Canary-1B-v2, a fast, robust multilingual model for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Speech-to-Text Translation (AST). Built with a FastConformer encod…
A Study on Regularization-Based Continual Learning Methods for Indic ASR
Gokul Adethya T, S. Jaya Nirmala
Indias linguistic diversity poses significant challenges for developing inclusive Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. Traditional multilingual models, which require simulta…
SPGISpeech 2.0: Transcribed multi-speaker financial audio for speaker-tagged transcription
Raymond Grossman, Taejin Park, Kunal Dhawan +6
We introduce SPGISpeech 2.0, a dataset suitable for speaker-tagged transcription in the financial domain. SPGISpeech 2.0 improves the diversity of applicable modeling tasks while m…
Streaming Sortformer: Speaker Cache-Based Online Speaker Diarization with Arrival-Time Ordering
Ivan Medennikov, Taejin Park, Weiqing Wang +5
This paper presents a streaming extension for the Sortformer speaker diarization framework, whose key property is the arrival-time ordering of output speakers. The proposed approac…
Speaker Targeting via Self-Speaker Adaptation for Multi-talker ASR
Weiqing Wang, Taejin Park, Ivan Medennikov +6
We propose a self-speaker adaptation method for streaming multi-talker automatic speech recognition (ASR) that eliminates the need for explicit speaker queries. Unlike conventional…
Word Level Timestamp Generation for Automatic Speech Recognition and Translation
Ke Hu, Krishna Puvvada, Elena Rastorgueva +7
We introduce a data-driven approach for enabling word-level timestamp prediction in the Canary model. Accurate timestamp information is crucial for a variety of downstream tasks su…
Granary: Speech Recognition and Translation Dataset in 25 European Languages
Nithin Rao Koluguri, Monica Sekoyan, George Zelenfroynd +12
Multi-task and multilingual approaches benefit large models, yet speech processing for low-resource languages remains underexplored due to data scarcity. To address this, we presen…
SALM-Duplex: Efficient and Direct Duplex Modeling for Speech-to-Speech Language Model
Ke Hu, Ehsan Hosseini-Asl, Chen Chen +7
Spoken dialogue is an intuitive form of human-computer interaction, yet current speech language models often remain constrained to turn-based exchanges, lacking real-time adaptabil…
Training and Inference Efficiency of Encoder-Decoder Speech Models
Piotr Żelasko, Kunal Dhawan, Daniel Galvez +7
Attention encoder-decoder model architecture is the backbone of several recent top performing foundation speech models: Whisper, Seamless, OWSM, and Canary-1B. However, the reporte…
