Whisper ASR model adaptation to multilingual medical speech analyzed

A research paper explores how the Whisper ASR model adapts to multilingual medical contexts. The study analyzes layer-wise changes in Whisper's internal representations after various fine-tuning methods, comparing performance across different model sizes and adaptation strategies. Results indicate that fine-tuning significantly boosts performance, with Whisper-Medium showing the best overall results for English and combined English-German tasks, while Whisper-Large-v3 performed best for German-only adaptation.

    Understanding Multilingual Medical ASR Adaptation Through Layer-Wise Analysis

    Medical automatic speech recognition (MedASR) requires adaptation to specialised terminology, limited annotated clinical data, and multilingual use cases. Although large-scale pretrained ASR models such as Whisper achieve strong generalisation, their behaviour after medical and m…
