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…
Distilling Conversations: Abstract Compression of Conversational Audio Context for LLM-based ASR
Shashi Kumar, Esaú Villatoro-Tello, Sergio Burdisso +7
Standard LLM-based speech recognition systems typically process utterances in isolation, limiting their ability to leverage conversational context. In this work, we study whether m…
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…
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…
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…
SpeechLLMs for Large-scale Contextualized Zero-shot Slot Filling
Kadri Hacioglu, Manjunath K E, Andreas Stolcke
Slot filling is a crucial subtask in spoken language understanding (SLU), traditionally implemented as a cascade of speech recognition followed by one or more natural language unde…
