Unifying Diarization, Separation, and ASR with Multi-Speaker Encoder
Muhammad Shakeel, Yui Sudo, Yifan Peng +2
This paper presents a unified multi-speaker encoder (UME), a novel architecture that jointly learns representations for speaker diarization (SD), speech separation (SS), and multi-…
OpusLM: A Family of Open Unified Speech Language Models
Jinchuan Tian, William Chen, Yifan Peng +9
This paper presents Open Unified Speech Language Models (OpusLMs), a family of open foundational speech language models (SpeechLMs) up to 7B. Initialized from decoder-only text lan…
Improving Multilingual Speech Models on ML-SUPERB 2.0: Fine-tuning with Data Augmentation and LID-Aware CTC
Qingzheng Wang, Jiancheng Sun, Yifan Peng +1
Multilingual speech processing with self-supervised or supervised pre-trained Speech Foundation Models (SFM) has achieved strong performance on tasks like Language Identification (…
DYNAC: Dynamic Vocabulary based Non-Autoregressive Contextualization for Speech Recognition
Yui Sudo, Yosuke Fukumoto, Muhammad Shakeel +3
Contextual biasing (CB) improves automatic speech recognition for rare and unseen phrases. Recent studies have introduced dynamic vocabulary, which represents context phrases as ex…
OWSM v4: Improving Open Whisper-Style Speech Models via Data Scaling and Cleaning
Yifan Peng, Shakeel Muhammad, Yui Sudo +4
The Open Whisper-style Speech Models (OWSM) project has developed a series of fully open speech foundation models using academic-scale resources, but their training data remains in…
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…
On The Landscape of Spoken Language Models: A Comprehensive Survey
Siddhant Arora, Kai-Wei Chang, Chung-Ming Chien +7
The field of spoken language processing is undergoing a shift from training custom-built, task-specific models toward using and optimizing spoken language models (SLMs) which act a…
ESPnet-SDS: Unified Toolkit and Demo for Spoken Dialogue Systems
Siddhant Arora, Yifan Peng, Jiatong Shi +9
Advancements in audio foundation models (FMs) have fueled interest in end-to-end (E2E) spoken dialogue systems, but different web interfaces for each system makes it challenging to…
ESPnet-SpeechLM: An Open Speech Language Model Toolkit
Jinchuan Tian, Jiatong Shi, William Chen +13
We present ESPnet-SpeechLM, an open toolkit designed to democratize the development of speech language models (SpeechLMs) and voice-driven agentic applications. The toolkit standar…
OWLS: Scaling Laws for Multilingual Speech Recognition and Translation Models
William Chen, Jinchuan Tian, Yifan Peng +3
Neural scaling laws offer valuable insights for designing robust sequence processing architectures. While these laws have been extensively characterized in other modalities, their…
