Automatic Lyric Transcription for Greek Songs: Scaling and Task Composition Effects in Whisper Adaptation

Excerpt

arXiv:2609.11302v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic Lyric Transcription (ALT) remains substantially more challenging than speech recognition due to melodic variability, rhythmic irregularity, and accompaniment interference. This is heightened in low-resource languages like Greek, where no prior benchmark for ALT exists. We present the first controlled study of Whisper adaptation for Greek ALT, investigating model scaling effects, task composition via multitask training in transcribe-transl
