Abstract

Speech-LLMs are expensive to run, making compression important for real-world deployment. However, compressed models are usually selected using aggregate word error rate (WER), which can hide how pruning affects different demographic groups. In this work, we systematically study the effect of audio encoder pruning on SLAM-ASR for different demographic groups. Using the Fair-Speech and Common Voice
