PTC-Bias: Phoneme-Level Temporal Competition for Bias Retrieval and Post-Decoding Correction in Speech LLMs

What changed

PTC-Bias is introduced as a two-stage phoneme-level temporal competition framework that reduces bias word error rates in speech large language models.

Why you should care

The method enables efficient handling of large bias lists in speech models without extra forward passes.
