Speaker Attributed Automatic Speech Recognition Using Speech Aware LLMS
Hagai Aronowitz, Zvi Kons, Avihu Dekel +2
Speaker-Attributed Automatic Speech Recognition (SAA) enhances traditional ASR systems by incorporating relative speaker identity tags directly into the transcript (e.g., [Speaker…
Self-Speculative Decoding for LLM-based ASR with CTC Encoder Drafts
George Saon, Samuel Thomas, Takashi Fukuda +3
We propose self-speculative decoding for speech-aware LLMs by using the CTC encoder as a draft model to accelerate auto-regressive (AR) inference and improve ASR accuracy. Our thre…
NLE: Non-autoregressive LLM-based ASR by Transcript Editing
Avihu Dekel, Samuel Thomas, Takashi Fukada +1
While autoregressive (AR) LLM-based ASR systems achieve strong accuracy, their sequential decoding limits parallelism and incurs high latency. We propose NLE, a non-autoregressive…
Spoken question answering for visual queries
Nimrod Shabtay, Zvi Kons, Avihu Dekel +3
Question answering (QA) systems are designed to answer natural language questions. Visual QA (VQA) and Spoken QA (SQA) systems extend the textual QA system to accept visual and spo…
Granite-speech: open-source speech-aware LLMs with strong English ASR capabilities
George Saon, Avihu Dekel, Alexander Brooks +21
Granite-speech LLMs are compact and efficient speech language models specifically designed for English ASR and automatic speech translation (AST). The models were trained by modali…
Low Bitrate High-Quality RVQGAN-based Discrete Speech Tokenizer
Slava Shechtman, Avihu Dekel
Discrete Audio codecs (or audio tokenizers) have recently regained interest due to the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to learn their compressed acoustic representations. V…
