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…
