Mega-ASR: Towards In-the-wild^2 Speech Recognition via Scaling up Real-world Acoustic Simulation

Despite rapid advances in automatic speech recognition (ASR) and large audio-language models, robust recognition in real-world environments remains limited by an "acoustic robustness bottleneck": models often lose acoustic grounding and produce omissions or hallucinations under severe, compositional distortions. We propose Mega-ASR, a unified ASR-in-the-wild framework that combines scalable compound-data construction with progressive acoustic-to-semantic optimization. We introduce Voices-in-the-Wild-2M, covering 7 classic acoustic phenomena and 54 physically plausible compound scenarios, and train Mega-ASR with Acoustic-to-Semantic Progressive Supervised Fine-Tuning and Dual-Granularity W...
