How to Leverage Synthetic Speech for LLM-Based ASR Systems?

arXiv:2606. 29031v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In regulated domains such as banking and healthcare, where privacy constraints make real speech costly to collect and retain, synthetic speech from modern text-to-speech (TTS) is an appealing alternative for training automatic speech recognition (ASR) without exposing sensitive customer recordings.

Robust Multi-Tier Infant-Centered Audio Understanding with Whisper via Structured Speaker Conditioning

arXiv:2608. 11587v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in model design and self-supervised audio representations have improved speech and audio understanding, yet infant-centered naturalistic recordings remain challenging due to limited labeled data, low signal-to-noise ratio, and cross-family domain shifts.

DAStatFormer: A Hybrid Multibranch Transformer with Statistical Feature Integration for DAS-Based Pattern Recognitions

arXiv:2606. 00081v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) enables large-scale monitoring through optical fibers, but its high dimensionality and complex spatio-temporal patterns make event classification demanding.
