Streaming Neural Speech Codecs through Time-Invariant Representations
Kélian Estève, Salima Mhdaffar, Mickael Rouvier +2
Neural speech codecs are increasingly used as intermediate representations in codec-based speech generation systems. TiCodec introduces a factorized representation that separates t…
Evaluation of Automatic Speech Recognition Using Generative Large Language Models
Thibault Bañeras-Roux, Shashi Kumar, Driss Khalil +6
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is traditionally evaluated using Word Error Rate (WER), a metric that is insensitive to meaning. Embedding-based semantic metrics are better corr…
A Comprehensive Analysis of Tokenization and Self-Supervised Learning in End-to-End Automatic Speech Recognition applied on French Language
Thibault Bañeras-Roux, Mickael Rouvier, Jane Wottawa +1
The performance of end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems enables their increasing integration into numerous applications. While there are various benefits to such s…
A Paradigm for Interpreting Metrics and Identifying Critical Errors in Automatic Speech Recognition
Thibault Bañeras-Roux, Mickael Rouvier, Jane Wottawa +1
The most commonly used metrics for evaluating automatic speech transcriptions, namely Word Error Rate (WER) and Character Error Rate (CER), have been heavily criticized for their p…
MedInjection-FR: Exploring the Role of Native, Synthetic, and Translated Data in Biomedical Instruction Tuning
Ikram Belmadani, Oumaima El Khettari, Pacôme Constant dit Beaufils +2
Instruction tuning has become essential for adapting large language models (LLMs) to follow domain-specific prompts. Yet, in specialized fields such as medicine, the scarcity of hi…
An Empirical Analysis of Discrete Unit Representations in Speech Language Modeling Pre-training
Yanis Labrak, Richard Dufour, Mickaël Rouvier
This paper investigates discrete unit representations in Speech Language Models (SLMs), focusing on optimizing speech modeling during continual pre-training. In this paper, we syst…
