Abstract

Code-switching (CS) speech, characterized by language alternation within a single utterance, is prevalent in multilingual communities and poses challenges to automatic speech recognition (ASR) due to rapid language transitions. We propose LLM-HB, a language-aware large language model-guided hotword biasing framework for code-switching ASR (CS-ASR). The framework incorporates a mixture-of-experts (MoE) adaptor and an auxiliary language prediction head to better capture and differentiate multilingual representations, while hotwords are injected through LLM-based prompting. Experiments on the ASRU2019 code-switching challenge test set demonstrate that LLM-HB achieves a 20.30% relative reduction in mixed error rate (MER) over the baseline, reaching 5.85% MER under a 15-distractor hotword setting. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to integrate LLM-guided biasing into code-switching ASR. We further release the extracted ASRU2019 hotword list to support future research.
