• Abstract: This research paper focuses on the development and evaluation of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology using the XLS-R 300m model. The study aims to improve ASR performance in converting spoken language into written text, specifically for Indonesian, Javanese, and Sundanese languages. The paper discusses the testing procedures, datasets used, and methodology employed in training and evaluating the ASR systems. The results show that the XLS-R 300m model achieves competitive Word Error Rate (WER) measurements, with a slight compromise in performance for Javanese and Sundanese languages. The integration of a 5-gram KenLM language model significantly reduces WER and enhances ASR accuracy. The research contributes to the advancement of ASR technology by addressing linguistic diversity and improving performance across various languages. The findings provide insights into optimizing ASR accuracy and applicability for diverse linguistic contexts.

  Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a crucial component in developing general-purpose AI agents capable of natural human-computer interaction. Building robust multilingual SER systems remains challenging due to the scarcity of labeled data in languages other than English and Chinese. We propose an approach to enhance SER performance in low SER resource languages by leveraging data from high-resource languages.
