Xiaomi Releases and Open-Sources Industrial-Grade Target-Speaker ASR Model

On September 11, Xiaomi officially released and open-sourced Xiaomi-CocktailASR-1, an industrial-grade target-speaker speech recognition model designed to address the “cocktail party” problem, according to Jiemian News. The company said the model uses an end-to-end LLM architecture and takes a short reference audio clip from the target speaker as a voiceprint prompt, allowing it to accurately extract and transcribe only the target user’s speech in noisy multi-speaker environments.
