Abstract

This paper presents the HINTT system submitted to the 2nd Challenge and Workshop on Multilingual Conversational Speech Language Model (MLC-SLM). We address multilingual speaker-attributed ASR, where systems must determine who spoke when and what was spoken. We investigate two modeling strategies for this problem: a cascaded pipeline that combines speaker diarization with speech-LLM-based ASR, and a unified speech LLM that directly generates speaker labels, timestamps, and transcriptions. Our final submission is based on the cascaded pipeline, consisting of a fine-tuned DiariZen diarization model, a fine-tuned Qwen3-ASR model, and LLM-based generative error correction. For comparison, we also fine-tune VibeVoice-ASR as a unified model using the same official training data. All task-specific fine-tuning and model selection are performed using only the official MLC-SLM data, without external data or pseudo-labels. Experimental results demonstrate that the cascaded system remains more reliable under the MLC-SLM Task 1 conditions, while unified speech LLMs offer a promising direction for future speaker-attributed ASR.

What we could verify

These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
