Can Large Language Models Reliably Correct Errors in Low-Resource ASR? A Contamination-Aware Case Study on West Frisian

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has improved substantially in recent years, yet performance remains limited for low-resource languages. Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise for improving ASR through generative error correction (GER), but their effectiveness in low-resource settings remains underexplored. In addition, it remains unclear to what extent data contamination influences the reported improvements in LLM-based GER. This study investigates LLM-based GER for low-resource Frisian. In addition to a public corpus, we construct and use a Frisian offline dataset with non-public texts for evaluation to control for potential data contamination. Results show that GER improves ASR performance in most settings, with the best GPT-5.1 results surpassing oracle WERs. Comparable gains on the offline dataset indicate that improvements reflect true correction ability. We further provide a detailed error analysis revealing model correction patterns.

Urban sidewalks: visualization and routing for individuals with limited mobility

People with limited mobility in the U.S. (defined as having difficulty or inability to walk a quarter of a mile without help and without the use of special equipment) face a growing informational gap: while pedestrian routing algorithms are getting faster and more informative, planning a route with a wheeled device in urban centers is very difficult due to lack of integrated pertinent information regarding accessibility along the route. Moreover, reducing access to street-spaces translates to reduced access to other public information and services that are increasingly made available to the public along urban streets. To adequately plan a commute, a traveler with limited or wheeled mobility must know whether her path may be blocked by construction, whether the sidewalk would be too steep or rendered unusable due to poor conditions, whether the street can be crossed or a highway is blocking the way, or whether there is a sidewalk at all. These details populate different datasets in many modern municipalities, but they are not immediately available in a convenient, integrated format to be useful to people with limited mobility. Our project, AccessMap, in its first phase (v.1) overlayed the information that is most relevant to people with limited mobility on a map, enabling self-planning of routes. Here, we describe the next phase of the project: synthesizing commonly available open data (including streets, sidewalks, curb ramps, elevation data, and construction permit information) to generate a graph of paths to enable variable cost-function accessible routing.

Millimeter Wave and Terahertz Spectra and Global Fit of Torsion-Rotation Transitions in the Ground, First and Second Excited Torsional States of 13CH3OH Methanol

Methanol is observed in a wide range of astrophysical sources throughout the universe, and comprehensive databases of the millimeter and THz spectra of CH3OH and its principal isotopologues represent important tools for the astronomical community. A previous combined analysis of microwave and millimeter wave spectra of 13CH3OH together with Fourier transform far-infrared spectra was limited to the first two torsional states, v_t = 0 and 1, for J values up to 20. The limits on frequency and quantum number coverage have recently been extended by new millimeter and THz measurements on several different spectrometers in the Cologne laboratory in the frequency windows 34-70 GHz, 75-120 GHz, 240-340 GHz, 360-450 GHz and 1.12-1.50 THz. With the new data, the global treatment has now been expanded to include the first three torsional states for J values up to 30. The current 13CH3OH data set contains about 2,300 microwave, millimeter-wave, sub-millimeter and THz lines and about 17,100 Fourier-transform far-infrared lines, representing the most recent available information in the quantum number ranges J </= 30, K </= 13 and v_t </= 2. The transitions have been successfully fitted to within the assigned measurement uncertainties of +/-50 kHz for most of the frequency-measured (i.e. MW, MMW, Sub-MMW, THz) lines and +/-6 MHz for the FIR lines. A convergent global fit was achieved using 103 adjustable parameters to reach an overall weighted standard deviation of 1.37. Our new C-13 methanol database is improved substantially compared to the existing one (Li-Hong Xu, F.J. Lovas, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 26 (1997) 17-156), and will be available in the Cologne Database for Molecular Spectroscopy, CDMS (http://www.astro.unikoeln.de/cdms/). (Abbreviated)
