Neural scaling laws offer valuable insights for designing robust sequence processing architectures. While these laws have been extensively characterized in other modalities, their behavior in speech remains comparatively underexplored. In…

This paper describes AssemblyAI's industrial-scale automatic speech recognition (ASR) system, designed to meet the requirements of large-scale, multilingual ASR serving various application needs. Our system leverages a diverse training…

The emergence of industrial-scale speech recognition (ASR) models such as Whisper and USM, trained on 1M hours of weakly labelled and 12M hours of audio only proprietary data respectively, has led to a stronger need for large scale public…

Whispering is a ubiquitous mode of communication that humans use daily. Despite this, whispered speech has been poorly served by existing speech technology due to a shortage of resources and processing methodology. To remedy this, this…

Recognizing whispered speech and converting it to normal speech creates many possibilities for speech interaction. Because the sound pressure of whispered speech is significantly lower than that of normal speech, it can be used as a…

Real-time automatic speech recognition systems are increasingly integrated into interactive applications, from voice assistants to live transcription services. However, scaling these systems to support multiple concurrent clients while…

Whisper is one of the recent state-of-the-art multilingual speech recognition and translation models, however, it is not designed for real time transcription. In this paper, we build on top of Whisper and create Whisper-Streaming, an…

Multi-modal large language models have garnered significant interest recently. Though, most of the works focus on vision-language multi-modal models providing strong capabilities in following vision-and-language instructions. However, we…

As large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI's GPT series continue to make strides, we witness the emergence of artificial intelligence applications in an ever-expanding range of fields. In medicine, these LLMs hold considerable promise for…

Despite the growing advancements in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models, the development of robust models for underrepresented languages, such as Nepali, remains a challenge. This research focuses on making an exhaustive and…

Training on multiple modalities of input can augment the capabilities of a language model. Here, we ask whether such a training regime can improve the quality and efficiency of these systems as well. We focus on text--audio and introduce…

We present OmniVoice, a massively multilingual zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) model that scales to over 600 languages. At its core is a novel diffusion language model-style discrete non-autoregressive (NAR) architecture. Unlike conventional…

Recent advancements in language modeling have led to the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) capable of various natural language processing tasks. Despite their success in text-based tasks, applying LLMs to the speech domain remains…

In the landscape of modern machine learning, frozen pre-trained models provide stability and efficiency but often underperform on specific tasks due to mismatched data distributions. This paper introduces the Whisperer, a novel visual…

Multi-talker speech recognition and target-talker speech recognition, both involve transcription in multi-talker contexts, remain significant challenges. However, existing methods rarely attempt to simultaneously address both tasks. In this…

Encoder-decoder models have achieved remarkable success in speech and text tasks, yet efficiently adapting these models to diverse uni/multi-modal scenarios remains an open challenge. In this paper, we propose Whisper-UT, a unified and…

We study the capabilities of speech processing systems trained simply to predict large amounts of transcripts of audio on the internet. When scaled to 680,000 hours of multilingual and multitask supervision, the resulting models generalize…

Large-scale in-the-wild speech datasets have become more prevalent in recent years due to increased interest in models that can learn useful features from unlabelled data for tasks such as speech recognition or synthesis. These datasets…

Speech language models (SpeechLMs) process and generate acoustic data only, without textual supervision. In this work, we propose TWIST, a method for training SpeechLMs using a warm-start from a pretrained textual language models. We show…

This paper investigates the in-context learning abilities of the Whisper automatic speech recognition (ASR) models released by OpenAI. A novel speech-based in-context learning (SICL) approach is proposed for test-time adaptation, which can…
