Unifying Model and Layer Fusion for Speech Foundation Models

arXiv — cs.CLWednesday, November 12, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
Recent advancements in Speech Foundation Models have highlighted the potential of fusion techniques to enhance performance in tasks such as Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and paralinguistic analysis. A new study introduces an innovative interface module that unifies model and layer fusion strategies, allowing for the integration of information across multiple upstream speech models. Extensive experiments demonstrate that this method outperforms previous fusion approaches, providing a notable performance boost when suitable upstream models are selected. This research underscores the critical role of model selection in achieving optimal results, paving the way for more effective applications in speech technology.
