TurboBias 2.0: Streaming Context-Biasing for Production-Efficient ASR Systems
Vladimir Bataev, Lilit Grigoryan, Andrei Andrusenko +3
Contextualization is essential for production automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, where user-provided phrases must be recognized accurately under strict latency constraints…
Nemotron 3 Nano Omni: Efficient and Open Multimodal Intelligence
NVIDIA, :, Amala Sanjay Deshmukh +204
We introduce Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, the latest model in the Nemotron multimodal series and the first to natively support audio inputs alongside text, images, and video. Nemotron 3 N…
Reducing the Offline-Streaming Gap for Unified ASR Transducer with Consistency Regularization
Andrei Andrusenko, Vladimir Bataev, Lilit Grigoryan +3
Unification of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems reduces development and maintenance costs, but training a single model to perform well in both offline and low-latency str…
FlexCTC: GPU-powered CTC Beam Decoding With Advanced Contextual Abilities
Lilit Grigoryan, Vladimir Bataev, Nikolay Karpov +3
While beam search improves speech recognition quality over greedy decoding, standard implementations are slow, often sequential, and CPU-bound. To fully leverage modern hardware ca…
TurboBias: Universal ASR Context-Biasing powered by GPU-accelerated Phrase-Boosting Tree
Andrei Andrusenko, Vladimir Bataev, Lilit Grigoryan +2
Recognizing specific key phrases is an essential task for contextualized Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). However, most existing context-biasing approaches have limitations asso…
Open Automatic Speech Recognition Models for Classical and Modern Standard Arabic
Lilit Grigoryan, Nikolay Karpov, Enas Albasiri +2
Despite Arabic being one of the most widely spoken languages, the development of Arabic Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems faces significant challenges due to the language'…
