# LCMA-SRT: Language-Conditional Mixture-of-Experts Adapters for Joint Multilingual Speech Recognition and Translation

[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-Apache_2.0-blue.svg)](LICENSE)
[![Paper](https://img.shields.io/badge/Paper-ACL%202026-red.svg)](https://aclanthology.org/2026.acl-long.1634/)

Neural transducers offer an alignment-free framework for speech-to-text modeling, and hierarchical transducer architectures further improve multilingual joint automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation (ST) by stacking a translation-focused encoder on top of an ASR encoder. However, extending hierarchical transducers to multilingual many-to-many settings remains challenging: fully shared models often suffer from negative transfer and unstable target-language generation, while training separate models for each direction is computationally prohibitive. We propose LCMA-SRT (Language-Conditional Mixture-of-Experts Adapters for Speech Recognition and Translation), which augments a hierarchical transducer with language-conditional Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) adapters. A source-conditioned MoE adapter (SRC-MoE) uses source-language embeddings to reduce cross-language interference and improve multilingual ASR. A target-conditioned MoE adapter (TGT-MoE) uses the desired target language to reduce cross-target interference and stabilize target-language generation in many-to-many ST. Experiments on Europarl-ST (9 languages, 72 directions) show that LCMA-SRT improves both ASR and ST within a single joint model, reducing average WER and improving BLEU and COMET over strong hierarchical transducer baselines.

```bash
bash lcma_srt/train/stage1/cr_ctc_sc_moe.sh
```

### Stage 2: Many-to-Many Joint Training

```bash
bash lcma_srt/train/stage2/lcma_srt.sh
```

## Decoding

### Stage 1: ASR Decoding

```bash
bash lcma_srt/decode/stage1/decode_cr_ctc_sc_moe.sh
```

### Stage 2: Joint ASR+ST Decoding

```bash
bash lcma_srt/decode/stage2/decode_lcma_srt.sh
```

## Checkpoint

Pre-trained model checkpoints are available on [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/linanjie0820/lcma-srt).

For complete per-direction results (all 72 directions), see [RESULTS.md](RESULTS.md).

## Evaluation

We use BLEU for surface-level matching, COMET for semantic adequacy, and sentence-level target-language mismatch rate (LMR) using an off-the-shelf language identification [model](https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/fasttext/supervised-models/lid.176.bin), where a hypothesis is counted as matched only if it is classified as the specified target language with confidence >= 0.7. ASR performance is assessed using word error rate (WER).
