Dynamic-SUPERB Phase-2: A Collaboratively Expanding Benchmark for Measuring the Capabilities of Spoken Language Models with 180 Tasks
Chien-yu Huang, Wei-Chih Chen, Shu-wen Yang +77
Multimodal foundation models, such as Gemini and ChatGPT, have revolutionized human-machine interactions by seamlessly integrating various forms of data. Developing a universal spo…
Word Level Timestamp Generation for Automatic Speech Recognition and Translation
Ke Hu, Krishna Puvvada, Elena Rastorgueva +7
We introduce a data-driven approach for enabling word-level timestamp prediction in the Canary model. Accurate timestamp information is crucial for a variety of downstream tasks su…
Training and Inference Efficiency of Encoder-Decoder Speech Models
Piotr Żelasko, Kunal Dhawan, Daniel Galvez +7
Attention encoder-decoder model architecture is the backbone of several recent top performing foundation speech models: Whisper, Seamless, OWSM, and Canary-1B. However, the reporte…
VoiceTextBlender: Augmenting Large Language Models with Speech Capabilities via Single-Stage Joint Speech-Text Supervised Fine-Tuning
Yifan Peng, Krishna C. Puvvada, Zhehuai Chen +7
Recent studies have augmented large language models (LLMs) with speech capabilities, leading to the development of speech language models (SpeechLMs). Earlier SpeechLMs focused on…
Large Language Model Based Generative Error Correction: A Challenge and Baselines for Speech Recognition, Speaker Tagging, and Emotion Recognition
Chao-Han Huck Yang, Taejin Park, Yuan Gong +18
Given recent advances in generative AI technology, a key question is how large language models (LLMs) can enhance acoustic modeling tasks using text decoding results from a frozen,…
