OSynth: A Longitudinal, Context-Sensitive Evaluation of Meeting Understanding

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

OSynth is a large-scale synthetic dataset that simulates organizations, providing 570 hours of meeting audio along with related artifacts and a latent ground-truth state. Human raters can only distinguish OSynth meetings from real transcripts 56% of the time when given short excerpts, indicating the dataset’s realism. When tested with state-of-the-art large language models, adding contextual information from OSynth significantly improves performance on entity-sensitive tasks, highlighting both current limitations and the dataset’s potential for advancing contextual meeting understanding.

Interactive In-Meeting Speaker Correction with Human Feedback

The paper introduces an LLM-assisted system for correcting speaker attribution errors during meetings. It combines streaming ASR, diarization, and concise LLM-generated summaries to guide users in providing brief corrective feedback, which updates the transcript and adds online speaker enrollments. The approach includes mechanisms to accurately interpret user corrections and a simulation for large-scale evaluation, achieving significant reductions in DER and speaker substitution error on the AMI headset test set, with a pilot usability study highlighting further improvements.

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.
