Speech LLMs for Low-Resource Languages: New Research Explores Data Needs and Pretraining

A new research paper explores the effectiveness of Speech Large Language Models (LLMs) for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) in low-resource languages. The study, utilizing the SLAM-ASR framework, assesses the data volume needed to match existing models like Whisper and demonstrates that pretraining projectors on high-resource languages significantly mitigates the impact of data scarcity. Experiments with multilingual LLMs such as EuroLLM and Salamandra, combined with Whisper Large v3 Turbo, provide valuable insights for optimizing Speech LLMs for diverse linguistic scenarios. AI

IMPACT This research offers a path to improve speech recognition capabilities for underserved languages, potentially broadening access to AI technologies globally.
