New MERaLiON-GR model achieves state-of-the-art gender recognition across multiple languages

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed MERaLiON-GR, a novel speech gender recognition model capable of classifying gender for both English and several Southeast Asian languages. This model is built upon MERaLiON-SpeechEncoder-2, a conformer-based transformer, and utilizes Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) for efficient fine-tuning. MERaLiON-GR demonstrates superior performance compared to existing state-of-the-art models like Vox-Profile and a large Audio-LLM across various evaluation modes and languages, including Chinese, Malay, Tamil, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Khmer.

    MERaLiON-GR: Speech Gender Recognition Model for English and SEA Languages

    arXiv:2608.04433v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present MERaLiON-GR, a speech gender recognition system that performs binary classification (female / male) on English and Southeast Asian (SEA) languages. The model finetunes MERaLiON-SpeechEncoder-2, a large conformer based t…
