Researchers have developed a method for improving automatic speech recognition (ASR) in low-resource languages through bilingual fine-tuning. The study evaluated this technique across nine diverse language pairs, using language identification tokens to distinguish between languages during training and inference. Results indicate that bilingual fine-tuning is effective when language identification is accurate, and providing the identification token at inference further boosts performance in cases of lower accuracy.
