This paper introduces a new method that improves the performance of Automatic speech recognition (ASR) engines, e.g., Whisper in practical cases.Different from prior methods that usually require both speech data and its transcription for decoding, our method only uses jargon as the context for decoding.To do that, the method first represents the jargon in a trie tree structure for efficient storing and traversing.The method next forces the decoding of Whisper to more focus on the jargon by adjusting the probability of generated tokens with the use of the trie tree.To further improve the performance, the method utilizes the prompting method that uses the jargon as the context.Final tokens are generated based on the combination of prompting and decoding.Experimental results on Japanese and English datasets show that the proposed method helps to improve the performance of Whisper, specially for domain-specific data.The method is simple but effective and can be deployed to any encoder-decoder ASR engines in actual cases.The code and data are also accessible. 1

As increasing storage density accompanies increasing adoption of 3D NAND flash, the data integrity turns to more important. The error floor problem is known to have critical impact on the correction capability of LDPC code in NAND flash storage. Herein we propose an analytical method based on a simplified NAND flash error model to relate harmful trapping sets to small cycles, by which we can avoid certain cycle combination during code construction for NAND flash memory applications.
