Preference-Aware Pareto Steering for Multi-Task Speech LLMs

Liuyuan Jiang, Vishal Sunder, Samuel Thomas +4

Speech large language models (LLMs) perform multiple tasks, including automatic speech recognition (ASR), timestamp prediction (TS), and speech translation (ST). Joint training of…

Design of the IBM Granite 5.0 TurboCTC ASR Model

Brian Kingsbury, George Saon, Masayuki Suzuki +5

We describe the architecture, training methodology and inference speedups of Granite 5.0 Turbo CTC, a 470 million parameter encoder-only model with an excellent speed-accuracy trad…

BiRQ: Bi-Level Self-Labeling Random Quantization for Self-Supervised Speech Recognition

Liuyuan Jiang, Xiaodong Cui, Brian Kingsbury +2

Speech is a rich signal, and labeled audio-text pairs are costly, making self-supervised learning essential for scalable representation learning. A core challenge in speech SSL is…

Bilevel Joint Unsupervised and Supervised Training for Automatic Speech Recognition

Xiaodong Cui, A F M Saif, Songtao Lu +4

In this paper, we propose a bilevel joint unsupervised and supervised training (BL-JUST) framework for automatic speech recognition. Compared to the conventional pre-training and f…

Exploring the limits of decoder-only models trained on public speech recognition corpora

Ankit Gupta, George Saon, Brian Kingsbury

The emergence of industrial-scale speech recognition (ASR) models such as Whisper and USM, trained on 1M hours of weakly labelled and 12M hours of audio only proprietary data respe…

Joint Unsupervised and Supervised Training for Automatic Speech Recognition via Bilevel Optimization

A F M Saif, Xiaodong Cui, Han Shen +3

In this paper, we present a novel bilevel optimization-based training approach to training acoustic models for automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks that we term {bi-level joint…
