Subtitle-Aligned Fine-Tuning of Whisper for Swiss German ASR: Benchmark Contamination, Convention Mismatch, and an Honest Baseline at 25.6% WER (13.8% cWER)

Researchers present a rigorous study of fine-tuning OpenAI's Whisper model for Swiss German speech recognition, achieving 25.6% WER with honest evaluation on disjoint test data. The work exposes significant benchmark contamination in published Swiss German ASR results, revealing that previous state-of-the-art claims were inflated by models memorizing test sets rather than genuinely understanding dialect.

Bangla-WhisperDiar: Fine-Tuning Whisper and PyAnnote for Bangla Long-Form Speech Recognition and Speaker Diarization

Researchers have developed Bangla-WhisperDiar, a fine-tuned speech recognition and speaker diarization system that achieves a 24.41% word error rate for ASR and 23.92% diarization error rate. The work addresses critical gaps in Bangla language processing by combining OpenAI's Whisper model with PyAnnote's diarization framework, trained on custom datasets with extensive data augmentation techniques.
