New method EA-SURF optimizes speech LLM task trade-offs

Researchers have developed a new method called EA-SURF to address task trade-offs in speech large language models (LLMs). These models often perform multiple tasks like speech recognition, timestamp prediction, and speech translation, and joint training can lead to compromises between these tasks. EA-SURF adapts scalarization weights during training to align the model's performance with specific deployment preferences, unlike standard training methods that use fixed loss weights. This approach has shown to improve performance, increasing the endpoint-inclusive normalized hypervolume by 17.8% across six different speech LLM requests. AI

IMPACT This method could lead to more efficient and adaptable speech LLMs by allowing developers to better control task performance trade-offs based on specific application needs.

    Preference-Aware Pareto Steering for Multi-Task Speech LLMs

    Speech large language models (LLMs) perform multiple tasks, including automatic speech recognition (ASR), timestamp prediction (TS), and speech translation (ST). Joint training of speech LLMs creates task trade-offs, yet standard training with fixed loss weights does not generall…
