This paper introduces a new corpus of Mandarin-English code-switching speech recognition--TALCS corpus, suitable for training and evaluating code-switching speech recognition systems. TALCS corpus is derived from real online one-to-one…
In this paper, we investigate the code-switching detection performance of a code-switching (CS) automatic speech recognition (ASR) system with data-augmented acoustic and language models. We focus on the recognition of Frisian-Dutch radio…
The success of speech-image retrieval relies on establishing an effective alignment between speech and image. Existing methods often model cross-modal interaction through simple cosine similarity of the global feature of each modality,…
Remote Sensing Image Change Captioning (RSICC) aims to generate natural language descriptions of surface changes between multi-temporal remote sensing images, detailing the categories, locations, and dynamics of changed objects (e.g.,…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown strong in-context learning (ICL) abilities with a few demonstrations. However, one critical challenge is how to select demonstrations to elicit the full potential of LLMs. In this paper, we propose…
Cross-lingual summarization (CLS) is the task to produce a summary in one particular language for a source document in a different language. Existing methods simply divide this task into two steps: summarization and translation, leading to…
In this paper, we present our initial efforts for building a code-switching (CS) speech recognition system leveraging existing acoustic models (AMs) and language models (LMs), i.e., no training required, and specifically targeting…
This paper investigates different pretraining approaches to spoken language identification. The paper is based on our submission to the Oriental Language Recognition 2021 Challenge. We participated in two tracks of the challenge:…
Deciphering natural language from brain activity through non-invasive devices remains a formidable challenge. Previous non-invasive decoders either require multiple experiments with identical stimuli to pinpoint cortical regions and enhance…
In this report, we summarize the integrated multilingual audio processing pipeline developed by our team for the inaugural NCIIPC Startup India AI GRAND CHALLENGE, addressing Problem Statement 06: Language-Agnostic Speaker Identification…
Speaker identification in noisy audio recordings, specifically those from collaborative learning environments, can be extremely challenging. There is a need to identify individual students talking in small groups from other students talking…
Code-switching speech recognition has attracted an increasing interest recently, but the need for expert linguistic knowledge has always been a big issue. End-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) simplifies the building of ASR systems…
This paper presents the TEA-ASLP's system submitted to the MLC-SLM 2025 Challenge, addressing multilingual conversational automatic speech recognition (ASR) in Task I and speech diarization ASR in Task II. For Task I, we enhance Ideal-LLM…
Code-switching is a pervasive linguistic phenomenon in global communication, yet modern information retrieval systems remain predominantly designed for, and evaluated within, monolingual contexts. To bridge this critical disconnect, we…
This paper presents a novel Dialect Identification (DID) system developed for the Fifth Edition of the Multi-Genre Broadcast challenge, the task of Fine-grained Arabic Dialect Identification (MGB-5 ADI Challenge). The system improves upon…
Recent advances in large language models have laid the foundation for multimodal LLMs (MLLMs), which unify text, speech, and vision within a single framework. As these models are rapidly evolving toward general-purpose instruction following…
This paper describes our Triple X speech recognition system submitted to Task 1 of the Multi-Lingual Conversational Speech Language Modeling (MLC-SLM) Challenge. Our work focuses on optimizing speech recognition accuracy in multilingual…
Annotating a multilingual code-switched corpus is a painstaking process requiring specialist linguistic expertise. This is partly due to the large number of language combinations that may appear within and across utterances, which might…
Speaker diarization systems are challenged by a trade-off between the temporal resolution and the fidelity of the speaker representation. By obtaining a superior temporal resolution with an enhanced accuracy, a multi-scale approach is a way…
The paper presents an overview of the fourth edition of the Shared Task on Multilingual Coreference Resolution, organized as part of the CODI-CRAC 2025 workshop. As in the previous editions, participants were challenged to develop systems…
