Advancing LLM-based phoneme-to-grapheme for multilingual speech recognition

ArXi:2603.29217v1 Announce Type: cross Phoneme-based ASR factorizes recognition into speech-to-phoneme (S2P) and phoneme-to-grapheme (P2G), enabling cross-lingual acoustic sharing while keeping language-specific orthography in a separate module. While large language models (LLMs) are promising for P2G, multilingual P2G remains challenging due to language-aware generation and severe cross-language data imbalance. We study multilingual LLM-based P2G on the ten-language CV-Lang10 benchmark.
