FYI: adding beam search arg helps parakeet by a lot

[thiswillbeyourgithub]

Hi,

Just FYI I added beam search to parakeet_web and it seems to drastically lower the error rate.

Might be a useful feature to add.

You can load my demo and give it a try by changing the beam width feature in the sidebar. Try it with technical words (medical words in my case) and see for yourself. I'm interested in your take on this.

yes thanks. beam searches had been on the roadmap and were now prioritized. also for other models. they need more testing though. if you want to check them out, that would be very helpful.

Btw, if you're down to adding beam search, might be better to directly adding something like MAES or other, that are AFAIK pareto improvements

Btw here's where maes is implemented I think: https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/NeMo/blob/76d24f63374df9f277db3a0376841aaf1b3f906a/nemo/collections/asr/parts/submodules/tdt_beam_decoding.py

thanks. we already have experimental maes. needs more testing though.
