ELF-S2T applies audio-conditioned flow-matching on continuous text latents from pre-trained ELF to achieve competitive ASR and S2TT results, with analysis showing shared close-distance confusion in latent space.
With matched data and sizes, CTC+LLM shallow fusion beats tight speech-LLM integration on in-domain ASR, while prefix LLMs win average WER on out-of-domain HuggingFace sets.
SALMONN integrates speech and audio encoders with a text-based LLM to process general audio inputs, achieve competitive results on trained tasks, and exhibit emergent cross-modal abilities.
