By M\'at\'e Gedeon, P\'eter Mihajlik
Conversational ASR for lower-resource languages and niche domains is limited by the scarcity of domain-matched multi-speaker training data. We propose an augmentation pipeline that generates scenario-level dialogues with participant metadata, maps speaker attributes to TTS voice profiles, and assembles synthesized utterances into speaker-aware simulated conversations.

By Adel Moumen, Guangzhi Sun, Philip C Woodland
Connecting a pre-trained speech encoder to a Large Language Model (LLM) is the standard architecture for building Speech LLMs. However, a structural misalignment exists between the encoder and the LLM.

By Dylan Luke Holyoak
The paper introduces a new strategy for connecting large language models (LLMs) to speech encoders in automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems by sharing a single connector across languages within the same linguistic family. This approach reduces the number of parameters needed compared to training a separate connector for each language, while improving generalization across different domains and real‑world corpora. Experiments with two multilingual LLMs and two speech datasets demonstrate that family‑based connectors are both efficient and effective for multilingual ASR deployment.
