RECERCAT author Serra i Montes, Pol 2025-02-11 This Master’s Thesis addresses the challenge of Catalan–Castilian code-switching in speech recognition. It develops synthetic corpora by combining machine-translated text chunks, large language model prompts, and semi-structured dialogues, then uses text-to-speech to produce audio samples. After fine-tuning ASR models, results indicate better recognition of artificially generated code-switching data but highlight limitations in real-world scenarios, such as emergency calls. The research underscores the need to incorporate more authentic recordings for stronger generalization, offering a practical framework to improve code-switching handling in multilingual ASR systems.
