Mind the Pause: Disfluency-Aware Objective Tuning for Multilingual Speech Correction with LLMs
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) transcripts often contain disfluencies, such as fillers, repetitions, and false starts, which reduce readability and hinder downstream applications like chatbots and voice assistants. If left unaddressed, such disfluencies can significantly degrade the reliability of downstream systems. Most existing approaches rely on classical models that focus on identifying disfluent tokens for removal. While this strategy is effective to some extent, it often disrupts grammatical structure and semantic coherence, leading to incomplete or unnatural sentences. Recent literature explored the use of large language models (LLMs); however, these efforts have primarily foc...
