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…

How to Leverage Synthetic Speech for LLM-Based ASR Systems?

Yanis Labrak, Dairazalia Sanchez-Cortes, Sergio Burdisso +9

In regulated domains such as banking and healthcare, where privacy constraints make real speech costly to collect and retain, synthetic speech from modern text-to-speech (TTS) is a…

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…

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…

Slot Filling as a Reasoning Task for SpeechLLMs

Kadri Hacioglu, Manjunath K E, Andreas Stolcke

We propose integration of reasoning into speech large language models (speechLLMs) for the end-to-end slot-filling task. Inspired by the recent development of reasoning LLMs, we us…

XLSR-Transducer: Streaming ASR for Self-Supervised Pretrained Models

Shashi Kumar, Srikanth Madikeri, Juan Zuluaga-Gomez +5

Self-supervised pretrained models exhibit competitive performance in automatic speech recognition on finetuning, even with limited in-domain supervised data. However, popular pretr…
