الوصف: As speech recognition model sizes and training data requirements grow, it is increasingly common for systems to only be available via APIs from online service providers rather than having direct access to models themselves. In this scenario it is challenging to adapt systems to a specific target domain. To address this problem we consider the recently released OpenAI Whisper ASR as an example of a large-scale ASR system to assess adaptation methods. An error correction based approach is adopted, as this does not require access to the model, but can be trained from either 1-best or N-best outputs that are normally available via the ASR API. LibriSpeech is used as the primary target domain for adaptation. The generalization ability of the system in two distinct dimensions are then evaluated. First, whether the form of correction model is portable to other speech recognition domains, and secondly whether it can be used for ASR models having a different architecture.
