Beyond WER: Probing Whisper’s Sub‐token Decoder Across Diverse Language Resource Levels (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large multilingual automatic speech recognition models achieve remarkable performance, but the internal mechanisms of the end-to-end pipeline remain underexplored. |
| Approach: | They propose to analyze Whisper's multilingual decoder to uncover systematic decoding disparities masked by aggregate error rates. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs better on higher resource languages, but lower resource languages fare worse on these metrics. |
Fine-Tuning ASR models for Very Low-Resource Languages: A Study on Mvskoke (2024.acl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent advances in multilingual models for automatic speech recognition (ASR) have been able to achieve a high accuracy for languages with extremely limited resources. |
| Approach: | They examine the parameter efficiency of training an adapter for the Mvskoke language, an indigenous language of America. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is parameter efficient and gives higher accuracy for a relatively small amount of data. |
