LLMs and TTS generate synthetic dialogues to boost ASR training

Researchers have developed a novel data augmentation pipeline to improve Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) for low-resource languages and specialized domains. This method synthesizes realistic dialogues using Large Language Models (LLMs) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, creating speaker-aware simulated conversations. Evaluations on a Hungarian benchmark demonstrated that this synthetic data significantly boosts ASR performance, even outperforming models trained on substantially larger amounts of real speech data. AI

IMPACT Enhances ASR model training efficiency and performance, particularly for data-scarce languages and domains.
