Gumbel-BEARD: Automatic Layer Selection for Self-Supervised Adaptation of Whisper in Low-Resource Domains
Zilai Wang, Natarajan Balaji Shankar, Mohan Shi +2
Speech foundation models often struggle in low-resource domains due to domain mismatch and data scarcity. We propose Gumbel-BEARD, a domain adaptation framework that automates Whis…
GC-LoRA: Gated Convolutional LoRA for Parameter-Efficient Acoustic Adaptation
Natarajan Balaji Shankar, Zilai Wang, Kaiyuan Zhang +2
Transformer-based Speech Foundation Models excel in most Automatic Speech Recognition tasks but often suffer performance degradation when applied to domains with mismatched acousti…
Entropy-Aware Domain-Routed Mixture-of-Experts Speech-LLM Framework: A Case Study of Multi-Domain Child-Adult ASR
Mohan Shi, Kaiyuan Zhang, Zilai Wang +3
While Speech Large Language Models (Speech-LLMs) have achieved strong performance on adult Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), their effectiveness on child speech remains under-exp…
Advancing Multi-talker ASR Performance with Large Language Models
Mohan Shi, Zengrui Jin, Yaoxun Xu +6
Recognizing overlapping speech from multiple speakers in conversational scenarios is one of the most challenging problem for automatic speech recognition (ASR). Serialized output t…
