The paper introduces task-informed parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods for low-resource speech recognition by applying Fisher-Whitened Cross-Covariance Analysis (FCCA) to Whisper and Qwen3-ASR. Two extensions—Asymmetric-Coupled FCCA (AC‑FCCA) and Adaptive‑Rank FCCA (AR‑FCCA)—are proposed to exploit cross‑layer sharing and adapt rank allocation within a fixed parameter budget. Experiments on multilingual datasets show that standard FCCA matches or surpasses LoRA, while AR‑FCCA consistently improves performance across models without increasing trainable parameters.

arXiv:2606. 29335v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal speaker identification systems face two key challenges in real-world deployment: missing modalities and language mismatch between training and testing conditions.
arXiv:2606. 16532v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio deepfake detectors often fail to generalize across speakers, as they learn speaker-identity features rather than synthesis artifacts, known as implicit identity leakage.
The paper introduces modality‑gated deep adapters, a parameter‑efficient method for adding new modalities to a frozen multimodal embedding language model without altering its existing outputs. These adapters are bottleneck modules attached to each decoder layer, grouped into modality‑specific packs that activate only during encoding of their own modality, ensuring exact preservation of the base model’s computation graph. Experiments on a 2B base model show significant gains in audio‑to‑text and thermal‑to‑text retrieval metrics, and the authors release the audio and thermal packs along with training and evaluation code.
arXiv:2608. 19863v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-supervised learning (SSL) has driven substantial progress in audio representation learning, though existing methods have increasingly relied on elaborate pre-training recipes to reach competitive performance.

arXiv:2603. 10827v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speech-aware large language models (LLMs) can accept speech inputs, yet their training objectives largely emphasize linguistic content or specific fields such as emotions or the speaker's gender, leaving it unclear whether they encode speaker identity.
arXiv:2606. 16456v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models enable efficient scaling, but training them from scratch remains prohibitively expensive.
