Streaming Speech-to-Text Translation with a SpeechLLM
Titouan Parcollet, Shucong Zhang, Xianrui Zheng +1
Normally, a system that translates speech into text consists of separate modules for speech recognition and text-to-text translation. Combining those tasks into a SpeechLLM promise…
Multi-layer attentive probing improves transfer of audio representations for bioacoustics
Marius Miron, David Robinson, Masato Hagiwara +15
Probing heads map the representations learned from audio by a machine learning model to downstream task labels and are a key component in evaluating representation learning. Most b…
A Study of Data Selection Strategies for Pre-training Self-Supervised Speech Models
Ryan Whetten, Titouan Parcollet, Marco Dinarelli +1
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has transformed speech processing, yet its reliance on massive pre-training datasets remains a bottleneck. While robustness is often attributed to sc…
Benchmarking Rotary Position Embeddings for Automatic Speech Recognition
Shucong Zhang, Titouan Parcollet, Rogier van Dalen +1
Self-attention relies on positional embeddings to encode input order. Relative Position (RelPos) embeddings are widely used in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). However, RelPos h…
Robust Unsupervised Adaptation of a Speech Recogniser Using Entropy Minimisation and Speaker Codes
Rogier C. van Dalen, Shucong Zhang, Titouan Parcollet +1
Speech recognisers usually perform optimally only in a specific environment and need to be adapted to work well in another. For adaptation to a new speaker, there is often too litt…
Evaluation of LLMs in Speech is Often Flawed: Test Set Contamination in Large Language Models for Speech Recognition
Yuan Tseng, Titouan Parcollet, Rogier van Dalen +2
Recent work suggests that large language models (LLMs) can improve performance of speech tasks compared to existing systems. To support their claims, results on LibriSpeech and Com…
