arXiv:2607. 12468v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We describe our submission to Task 1 of the 2nd MLCSLM Challenge: a cascaded diarization-then-recognition system that combines DiariZen-Large-s80 (WavLM-Large) segmentation, CAM++ embedding-based two-speaker clustering, and a LoRA-adapted omniASR LLM 7B v2 recognizer, with no oracle segmentation or speaker labels at test time.

The paper describes Transsion Speech Team’s submission to Task 1 of the MLC‑SLM 2026 Challenge, aiming at speaker‑attributed transcription for multilingual conversational speech. Their cascaded framework includes a DiariZen‑based speaker diarization module, a Qwen3‑Omni‑based long‑form multilingual ASR module with CTC alignment for precise timestamps, and a fusion module that merges diarization and transcription outputs into speaker‑attributed STM results. On the official evaluation set, the system achieved a tcpMER of 15.41% and secured second place among all participants.

The paper introduces a new target‑speaker unlearning task for automatic speech recognition (TSU‑ASR) that allows certain speakers to opt out of transcription while still indicating their presence. A lightweight Enrollment‑Conditioned Gating (ECG) module is added to a frozen dual‑stream speech LLM, enabling dynamic unlearning of new opt‑out speakers during inference. Experiments on AMI and AliMeeting datasets show significant drops in transcription accuracy for opt‑out speakers while preserving performance for retained speakers.

The paper introduces an automated pipeline that extracts conversational turns and backchannels from separate-channel recordings of spontaneous dyadic dialogue, combining voice activity detection, channel-energy filtering, temporal merging, automatic speech recognition, and context-based post‑processing. Evaluated on 99 ten‑minute Danish conversations, the system achieved F1 scores around 0.62 for both turns and backchannels, with median onset/offset errors of roughly 0.15–0.18 s. Performance was consistent across normal and asymmetric listening conditions, and a case study showed the pipeline’s outputs were less variable than human annotations, supporting its use as a reliable first‑pass annotation tool in semi‑automated workflows.
