Research Highlights

From research to real world

Enhancing transcription accuracy

ASR systems often struggle to accurately transcribe audio, especially in noisy environments. By leveraging LLMs, we select the optimal ASR output, reducing word error rates and improving transcription quality.

Going beyond the surface of sound

Using sparse autoencoders (SAEs), we uncover hidden features in audio data to enhance speech recognition and voice authentication systems, enabling businesses to break down complex data into insights.

Boosting voice authentication in multi-speaker settings

Traditional systems have difficulty differentiating speakers in group settings. Our new technique increases speed and accuracy of multi-speaker detection–enabling better voice biometrics, diarization, and forensics.
