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.

MG-REPA introduces Multi-Granularity Representation Alignment for generative target speaker extraction, aligning hidden states with a self‑supervised learning model at the frame level and a speaker verification model at the utterance level. Temporal normalization removes utterance‑level statistics from the frame‑level target, allowing each branch to focus on its specific granularity. On Libri2Mix, MG-REPA achieves comparable or better performance to a 2,000‑epoch baseline while requiring only 750 epochs, and ablation studies confirm its superiority over single‑granularity alignment.

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.

PTC-Bias is a two-stage framework that improves contextual biasing in speech large language models by using phoneme-level temporal competition. In the first stage, PTC Retrieval performs frame-synchronous phoneme decoding to generate a compact shortlist of bias words and their speech intervals. The second stage, PTC Correction, applies a local competition between retrieved candidates and mismatched transcript spans within those intervals, reducing near-homophone and word-segmentation errors without extra SpeechLLM passes. Experiments on LibriSpeech demonstrate consistent gains across two SpeechLLMs, with PTC-Bias reducing B-WER by up to 23.9% relative to CTC-Filter while keeping U-WER nearly unchanged.
Speech transcripts used as long-term memory must preserve both words and stable speaker identities. Existing meeting-transcription metrics either ignore speakers or remap anonymous speakers independen...
