SCRIBE: Diagnostic Evaluation and Rich Transcription Models for Indic ASR

arXiv:2605. 20712v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automatic speech recognition replaces typing only when correction costs less than manual entry - a threshold determined by error types, not counts: fixing a misrecognized domain term costs far more than inserting a comma.

Audio-Visual Continual Test-Time Adaptation without Forgetting

arXiv:2602. 18528v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Audio-visual continual test-time adaptation involves continually adapting a source audio-visual model at test-time, to unlabeled non-stationary domains, where either or both modalities can be distributionally shifted, which hampers online cross-modal learning and eventually leads to poor accuracy.
