PUMA: Projected Universal Multilingual ASR for Low-Resource Settings. Application to Diverse African Languages (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing multilingual ASR models fail to generalize to low-resource languages while remaining costly to scale. |
| Approach: | They propose a multilingual ASR model that integrates a learnable language token with acoustic representations to enable language-aware processing. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves low-resource performance with reduced model complexity on African languages. |
