Failing Forward: Improving Generative Error Correction for ASR with Synthetic Data and Retrieval Augmentation

ACL 2025finding

Generative Error Correction (GEC) has emerged as a powerful post-processing method to boost the performance of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. In this paper, we first show that GEC models struggle to generalize beyond the specific types of errors encountered during training, limiting the…

Bidirectional Language Models Are Also Few-shot Learners

ICLR 2023poster

Large language models such as GPT-3 (Brown et al., 2020) can perform arbitrary tasks without undergoing fine-tuning after being prompted with only a few labeled examples. An arbitrary task can be reformulated as a natural language prompt, and a language model can be asked to generate the completion,…

Cultural and Geographical Influences on Image Translatability of Words across Languages

NAACL 2021long

Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models have been observed to produce poor translations when there are few/no parallel sentences to train the models. In the absence of parallel data, several approaches have turned to the use of images to learn translations. Since images of words, e.g., horse may be…

“Wikily” Supervised Neural Translation Tailored to Cross-Lingual Tasks

EMNLP 2021main

We present a simple but effective approach for leveraging Wikipedia for neural machine translation as well as cross-lingual tasks of image captioning and dependency parsing without using any direct supervision from external parallel data or supervised models in the target language. We show that firs…
