Whispering Wisely: Smart Subset Selection for ASR Fine-Tuning

arXiv:2610.32997v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models such as OpenAIs Whisper have substantially improved speech recognition quality but remain expensive to fine-tune, especially when large amounts of transcribed audio are available. This makes it challenging for many practitioners to adapt these models to new languages or domains. In this work, we introduce an embedding-based subset selection approach for selecting smaller training sets for ASR fine-tuning. Using Whispers pretrained encoder, we map each audio sample into a fixed-dimensional embedding space and apply a greedy k-center algorithm to select diverse and representative subsets of the training data. We evaluate this approach on both Hebrew and Danish, showing that k-center selection often impr

Release: v5.21.0

# Release v5.21.0 ## New Model additions ### MiniCPM-OCR MiniCPM-OCR is a document-understanding model from OpenBMB's MiniCPM-V family. It keeps the MiniCPM-V 4.6 architecture, which pairs a SigLIP vision encoder and a window-attention merger with a Qwen3.5 language model. It is specialized for reading text-dense images such as scanned pages, screenshots, receipts and tables. **Links:** [Documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/minicpm_ocr) | [Paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2509.18154) * Feat test (#49920) by @guarin in [#49920](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/49920) ### Flint Flint is Recursive's mixture-of-experts language model.

Mistral releases the Voxtral 3 voice agent SDK: supports real-time voice interaction in over 50 languages and emotional TTS.

Mistral will launch Voxtral 3 by October 26, 2026—a family of end-to-end SDKs and models for multilingual real-time voice interaction, covering three major modules: ASR (including speaker separation), the inference layer, and TTS. The solution emphasizes data sovereignty and modular deployment, though all performance claims are based on the vendor’s internal testing and have not been independently verified by a third party.
