From Generative to Discriminative: Lightweight Adaptation of SpeechLLMs for Multimodal Emotion Recognition

Hasindri Watawana, Sergio Burdisso, Esaú Villatoro-Tello +4

SpeechLLMs can recognise emotion by generating a label token, but this approach relies on the LLM's existing output representations. We compare this generative approach with a disc…

Less can be More: What Aspects of Speech Drive End-of-Turn Detection

Rini Sharon, Manickavela A, Kadri Hacioglu +1

In conversational AI, detecting when a speaker has finished talking is crucial for natural turn taking. While recent work incorporates semantics, the relative contribution of diffe…

Closing the Speech-Text Gap with Limited Audio for Effective Domain Adaptation in LLM-Based ASR

Thibault Bañeras-Roux, Sergio Burdisso, Esaú Villatoro-Tello +9

Conventional end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems rely on paired speech-text data for domain adaptation. Recent LLM-based ASR architectures connect a speech encode…

Abstract Compression of Conversational Audio Context for LLM-based ASR

Shashi Kumar, Esaú Villatoro-Tello, Sergio Burdisso +7

Standard LLM-based speech recognition systems process utterances in isolation, limiting their ability to leverage conversational context. Here we study whether multimodal context f…

Reducing Prompt Sensitivity in LLM-based Speech Recognition Through Learnable Projection

Sergio Burdisso, Esaú Villatoro-Tello, Shashi Kumar +7

LLM-based automatic speech recognition (ASR), a well-established approach, connects speech foundation models to large language models (LLMs) through a speech-to-LLM projector, yiel…

Text-only adaptation in LLM-based ASR through text denoising

Andrés Carofilis, Sergio Burdisso, Esaú Villatoro-Tello +8

Adapting large language model (LLM)-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems to new domains using text-only data is a significant yet underexplored challenge. Standard fine…
