Two-Stage Domain Adaptation for LLM-Based ASR by Decoupling Linguistic and Acoustic Factors
Journal: Applied Sciences
Year: 2025

Large language models (LLMs) have been increasingly applied in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), achieving significant advancements. However, the performance of LLM-based ASR (LLM-ASR) models remains unsatisfactory when applied across domains due to domain shifts between acoustic and linguistic conditions. To address this challenge, we propose a decoupled two-stage domain adaptation framework that separates the adaptation process into text-only and audio-only stages. In the first stage, we lev
