Measuring the Redundancy of Decoder Layers in SpeechLLMs
Adel Moumen, Guangzhi Sun, Philip C Woodland
Speech Large Language Models route speech encoder representations into an LLM decoder that typically accounts for over 90% of total parameters. We study how much of this decoder ca…
Open ASR Leaderboard: Towards Reproducible and Transparent Multilingual and Long-Form Speech Recognition Evaluation
Vaibhav Srivastav, Steven Zheng, Eric Bezzam +6
We present the Open ASR Leaderboard, a reproducible benchmarking platform with community contributions from academia and industry. It compares 86 open-source and proprietary system…
Cross-Lingual Interleaving for Speech Language Models
Adel Moumen, Guangzhi Sun, Philip C. Woodland
Spoken Language Models (SLMs) aim to learn linguistic competence directly from speech using discrete units, widening access to Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies for la…
LFAR: Accounting for Layerwise Dynamics to Improve Multimodal Adaptation of Language Models
Santiago Cuervo, Adel Moumen, Yanis Labrak +5
Text-pretrained language models (LMs) encode rich world knowledge, but adapting them to process and generate perceptual modalities such as audio and images while effectively levera…
Discrete Audio Tokens: More Than a Survey!
Pooneh Mousavi, Gallil Maimon, Adel Moumen +18
Discrete audio tokens are compact representations that aim to preserve perceptual quality, phonetic content, and speaker characteristics while enabling efficient storage and infere…
