Phoneme-First Prediction for LLM-Based Speech Recognition

Jakob Poncelet, Hugo Van hamme

Recent research has explored integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) with speech encoders to create speech-augmented LLMs capable of contextualized speech recognition. The main ch…

Speech Encoder Fusion for LLM-based Automatic Speech Recognition

Jakob Poncelet, Hugo Van hamme

Speech-aware large language models (LLMs) can incorporate speech through pre-trained acoustic encoders that project speech features into the LLM embedding space. While the choice o…

Towards Deep Contextual Reasoning from Broad Descriptions for ASR with Speech-LLM via Metadata-Driven Reasoning Chains

Jakob Poncelet, Hugo Van hamme

Speech recognition often fails on rare, domain-specific terms and context-related named entities. Existing contextualization techniques typically bias decoding with keywords or phr…

Efficient Extraction of Noise-Robust Discrete Units from Self-Supervised Speech Models

Jakob Poncelet, Yujun Wang, Hugo Van hamme

Continuous speech can be converted into a discrete sequence by deriving discrete units from the hidden features of self-supervised learned (SSL) speech models. Although SSL models…

Unsupervised Accent Adaptation Through Masked Language Model Correction Of Discrete Self-Supervised Speech Units

Jakob Poncelet, Hugo Van hamme

Self-supervised pre-trained speech models have strongly improved speech recognition, yet they are still sensitive to domain shifts and accented or atypical speech. Many of these mo…

Learning to Jointly Transcribe and Subtitle for End-to-End Spontaneous Speech Recognition

Jakob Poncelet, Hugo Van hamme

TV subtitles are a rich source of transcriptions of many types of speech, ranging from read speech in news reports to conversational and spontaneous speech in talk shows and soaps.…

Multitask Learning with Capsule Networks for Speech-to-Intent Applications

Jakob Poncelet, Hugo Van hamme

Voice controlled applications can be a great aid to society, especially for physically challenged people. However this requires robustness to all kinds of variations in speech. A s…
