Automatic Lyric Transcription for Greek Songs: Scaling and Task Composition Effects in Whisper Adaptation
Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →The paper presents the first controlled study of Whisper adaptation for Greek Automatic Lyric Transcription (ALT), addressing challenges such as melodic variability, rhythmic irregularity, and accompaniment interference. It explores model scaling, multitask training with transcribe-translate ratios, and a two‑stage speech‑to‑singing adaptation, while curating a segment‑level aligned singing dataset from the Greek Audio Dataset. Results show that larger models consistently improve performance, multitask learning benefits smaller models, and the two‑stage adaptation achieves a 27.2% WER, establishing the first Greek ALT benchmark.
