Post-ASR Correction for Low-Resource Rajasthani Language
Post-ASR Correction for Low-Resource Rajasthani Language

Abhishek Bhandari and Gaurav Harit

ACM Transactions on Asian and Low-Resource Language Information Processing (TALLIP)

We introduce a multi-view, character-level Seq2Seq framework for post-ASR correction in the low-resource Rajasthani language. By using a gated mechanism to dynamically fuse outputs from Whisper and MMS models, our approach significantly reduces Character Error Rate (CER) and Word Error Rate (WER) on a newly created IndicTTS Rajasthani benchmark, outperforming single-view baselines and powerful LLMs like GPT-4o.

Proceedings of the 5th Workshop on Multilingual Representation Learning (MRL 2025)

This paper introduces MMCRICBENCH-3K, a benchmark for Visual Question Answering on cricket scorecards designed to evaluate large vision-language models on complex numerical and cross-lingual reasoning over semi-structured tabular images. Empirical results show that state-of-the-art models struggle with structure-aware numerical reasoning and cross-lingual generalization.

Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Advances in Information Technology 2020

This paper presents a novel approach for reversible data hiding using multi-layer perceptron for pixel prediction. Reversible data hiding is a technique that allows the original cover media to be perfectly restored after the hidden data has been extracted.
