| contents | We analyze automatic speech recognition (ASR) modeling choices under domain mismatch, comparing classic modular and novel sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) architectures. Across the different ASR architectures, we examine a spectrum of modeling choices, including label units, context length, and topology. To isolate language domain effects from acoustic variation, we synthesize target domain audio using a text-to-speech system trained on LibriSpeech. We incorporate target domain n-gram and neural language models for domain adaptation without retraining the acoustic model. To our knowledge, this is the first controlled comparison of optimized ASR systems across state-of-the-art architectures under domain shift, offering insights into their generalization. The results show that, under domain shift, rather than the decoder architecture choice or the distinction between classic modular and novel seq2seq models, it is specific modeling choices that influence performance. |
