Frozen Large Language Models Can Perceive Paralinguistic Aspects of Speech
Wonjune Kang, Junteng Jia, Chunyang Wu +8
This work studies the capabilities of a large language model (LLM) to understand paralinguistic aspects of speech without fine-tuning its weights. We utilize an end-to-end system w…
CJST: CTC Compressor based Joint Speech and Text Training for Decoder-Only ASR
Wei Zhou, Junteng Jia, Leda Sari +2
CTC compressor can be an effective approach to integrate audio encoders to decoder-only models, which has gained growing interest for different speech applications. In this work, w…
M-BEST-RQ: A Multi-Channel Speech Foundation Model for Smart Glasses
Yufeng Yang, Desh Raj, Ju Lin +8
The growing popularity of multi-channel wearable devices, such as smart glasses, has led to a surge of applications such as targeted speech recognition and enhanced hearing. Howeve…
Faster Speech-LLaMA Inference with Multi-token Prediction
Desh Raj, Gil Keren, Junteng Jia +2
Large language models (LLMs) have become proficient at solving a wide variety of tasks, including those involving multi-modal inputs. In particular, instantiating an LLM (such as L…
Effective internal language model training and fusion for factorized transducer model
Jinxi Guo, Niko Moritz, Yingyi Ma +6
The internal language model (ILM) of the neural transducer has been widely studied. In most prior work, it is mainly used for estimating the ILM score and is subsequently subtracte…
