SOA: Reducing Domain Mismatch in SSL Pipeline by Speech Only Adaptation for Low Resource ASR
Natarajan Balaji Shankar, Ruchao Fan, Abeer Alwan
Recently, speech foundation models have gained popularity due to their superiority in finetuning downstream ASR tasks. However, models finetuned on certain domains, such as LibriSp…
Benchmarking Children's ASR with Supervised and Self-supervised Speech Foundation Models
Ruchao Fan, Natarajan Balaji Shankar, Abeer Alwan
Speech foundation models (SFMs) have achieved state-of-the-art results for various speech tasks in supervised (e.g. Whisper) or self-supervised systems (e.g. WavLM). However, the p…
UniEnc-CASSNAT: An Encoder-only Non-autoregressive ASR for Speech SSL Models
Ruchao Fan, Natarajan Balaji Shanka, Abeer Alwan
Non-autoregressive automatic speech recognition (NASR) models have gained attention due to their parallelism and fast inference. The encoder-based NASR, e.g. connectionist temporal…
