LOGIC: Efficient and Robust Contextual Biasing for Speech LLMs via Logit-Space Integration

Read the original on arXiv AI →

LOGIC is a framework that performs contextual biasing for speech large language models by integrating directly in logit space. It decouples context injection from input processing, allowing explicit control over biasing strength and reducing entity word error rates by an average of 9% relative to baseline methods. When combined with prompting, LOGIC further lowers entity word error rates by 5% relative to prompt-only approaches, with only a modest 2.8% runtime overhead.

Beyond Prompting: Efficient and Robust Contextual Biasing for Speech LLMs via Logit-Space Integration (LOGIC)

The paper introduces LOGIC (Logit‑Space Integration for Contextual Biasing), a new framework that injects contextual entity information directly into the decoding layer of Speech Large Language Models, bypassing the limitations of prompt‑based methods. LOGIC operates with constant‑time complexity regardless of the size of the entity list, and experiments with the Phi‑4‑MM model across 11 multilingual locales show an average 9% relative reduction in Entity WER while adding only a 0.30% increase in False Alarm Rate.

Breaking the Likelihood Trap: Variance-Calibrated Modulation for Large Language Model Decoding

The paper introduces Variance‑Calibrated Modulation (VCM), a training‑free pre‑decoding technique that reshapes language model probability distributions before truncation. VCM uses two dynamic mechanisms: a Contextual Searchlight via PMI to suppress stopwords and highlight context‑relevant tokens, and an Adaptive Self‑Debiasing that applies scale‑invariant penalization based on real‑time logit standard deviation. Experiments on open‑ended generation, factual QA, and mathematical reasoning show that VCM consistently reduces the likelihood trap, improving diversity, coherence, and reasoning accuracy with minimal computational cost.

agentic-ger: terminology recovery in long-form speech using global context

Agentic-GER is an LLM-based agent designed to improve terminology accuracy in long‑form speech transcription. It leverages global context from the entire transcript to flag suspicious terms, selectively re‑transcribes the source audio to verify candidate corrections, and uses accepted edits to inform future decisions. Experiments on GigaSpeechBench with four LLMs and two ASR systems show consistent terminology improvements in both Chinese and English, achieving up to a 36.8% relative reduction in biased character error rate over the Whisper baseline for Chinese speech.
