Although Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) in Bengali has seen significant progress, processing long-duration audio and performing robust speaker diarization remain critical research gaps. To address the severe scarcity of joint ASR and…

We describe our end-to-end system for Bengali long-form speech recognition (ASR) and speaker diarization submitted to the DL Sprint 4.0 competition on Kaggle. Bengali presents substantial challenges for both tasks: a large phoneme…

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and speaker diarization in Bangla remain challenging due to long form recordings, diverse acoustic conditions, and significant speaker variability. This work addresses these two core tasks in Bangla spoken…

Bengali, despite being one of the most widely spoken languages globally, remains underrepresented in long form speech technology, particularly in systems addressing transcription and speaker attribution. We present frameworks for long form…

Bengali remains a low-resource language in speech technology, especially for complex tasks like long-form transcription and speaker diarization. This paper presents a multistage approach developed for the "DL Sprint 4.0 - Bengali Long-Form…

One of the major challenges for developing automatic speech recognition (ASR) for low-resource languages is the limited access to labeled data with domain-specific variations. In this study, we propose a pseudo-labeling approach to develop…

Bengali (Bangla) remains under-resourced in long-form speech technology despite its wide use. We present Bengali-Loop, two community benchmarks to address this gap: (1) a long-form ASR corpus of 191 recordings (158.6 hours, 792k words) from…

This paper presents our solution for the DL Sprint 4.0, addressing the dual challenges of Bengali Long-Form Speech Recognition (Task 1) and Speaker Diarization (Task 2). Processing long-form, multi-speaker Bengali audio introduces…

Although over 300M around the world speak Bangla, scant work has been done in improving Bangla voice-to-text transcription due to Bangla being a low-resource language. However, with the introduction of the Bengali Common Voice 9.0 speech…

Bangla, one of the most widely spoken languages, remains underrepresented in state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) research, particularly under noisy and speaker-diverse conditions. This paper presents BanglaRobustNet, a…

Voice based applications are ruling over the era of automation because speech has a lot of factors that determine a speakers information as well as speech. Modern Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a blessing in the field of…

Bengali is spoken by over 230 million people yet remains severely under-served in automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speaker diarization research. In this paper, we present our system for the DL Sprint 4.0 Bengali Long-Form Speech…

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) for Bengali, the world's fifth most spoken language, remains a significant challenge, critically hindering technological accessibility for its over 270 million speakers. This challenge is compounded by two…

Despite huge improvements in automatic speech recognition (ASR) employing neural networks, ASR systems still suffer from a lack of robustness and generalizability issues due to domain shifting. This is mainly because principal corpus design…

Real-time speech assistants are becoming increasingly popular for ensuring improved accessibility to information. Bengali, being a low-resource language with a high regional dialectal diversity, has seen limited progress in developing such…

Bengali, spoken by over 300 million people, is a morphologically rich and lowresource language, posing challenges for automatic speech recognition (ASR). This research presents an end-to-end framework for Bengali ASR, building on a…

Multi-speaker automatic speech recognition (ASR) aims to transcribe conversational speech involving multiple speakers, requiring the model to capture not only what was said, but also who said it and sometimes when it was spoken. Recent…

This study focuses on recognizing Bangladeshi dialects and converting diverse Bengali accents into standardized formal Bengali speech. Dialects, often referred to as regional languages, are distinctive variations of a language spoken in a…

Multi-speaker automatic speech recognition (MS-ASR) faces significant challenges in transcribing overlapped speech, a task critical for applications like meeting transcription and conversational analysis. While serialized output training…

When dealing with overlapped speech, the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems substantially degrades as they are designed for single-talker speech. To enhance ASR performance in conversational or meeting environments,…
