• Abstract: The recently published Loquacious dataset aims to be a replacement for established English automatic speech recognition (ASR) datasets such as LibriSpeech or TED-Lium. The main goal of the Loquacious dataset is to provide properly defined training and test partitions across many acoustic and language domains, with an open license suitable for both academia and industry. To further promote the benchmarking and usability of this new dataset, we present additional resources in the form of n-gram language models (LMs), a grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) model and pronunciation lexica, with open and public access. Utilizing those additional resources we show experimental results across a wide range of ASR architectures with different label units and topologies. Our initial experimental results indicate that the Loquacious dataset offers a valuable study case for a variety of common challenges in ASR.

  Speech emotion recognition (SER) has made significant strides with the advent of powerful self-supervised learning (SSL) models. We propose a large-scale benchmark to evaluate the robustness and adaptability of state-of-the-art SER models. We find that the Whisper model, primarily designed for automatic speech recognition, outperforms dedicated SSL models in cross-lingual SER.

• Pseudo-Labeling for Domain-Agnostic Bangla Automatic Speech Recognition [10.244515100904144]
  In this study, we propose a pseudo-labeling approach to develop a large-scale domain-agnostic ASR dataset. We developed a 20k+ hours labeled Bangla speech dataset covering diverse topics, speaking styles, dialects, noisy environments, and conversational scenarios. We benchmarked the trained ASR with publicly available datasets and compared it with other available models. Our results demonstrate the efficacy of the model trained on psuedo-label data for the designed test-set along with publicly-available Bangla datasets.
