The '3-Character' Catchphrase That the Quality Gate Allowed Became the Model's Habit

๐Ÿ“ Originally published (in Japanese) at forge.workstyle.tech . A trained speech model was asked to read a short sentence, and this is what it returned: Input: ใคใพใ‚Šใ€ใ“ใ†ใ„ใ†ใ“ใจใงใ™ใ€‚ Transcribed output: ใ€Œใคใพใ‚Šใ€ใ“ใ†ใ„ใ†ใ“ใจใงใ™ใ€‚ใƒดใ‚งใƒผใ€ Input: ๅคงไธˆๅคซใงใ™ใ‚ˆใ€ๆฐ—ใซใ—ใชใ„ใงใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚ Transcribed output: ใ€Œๅคงไธˆๅคซใงใ™ใ‚ˆใ€‚ๆฐ—ใซใ—ใชใ„ใงใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚ใ„ใ‚„ใ€‚ใ€ There was an extra short sound at the end.

A 3-character catchphrase that became the model's habit emerged due to the quality gate in the corpus. Whisper transcribed a short sentence, appending an extra sound of 1-2 characters at the end. This extra sound matched the size of the hallucination that passed through the quality gate. The model learned to add a little sound at the end of short sentences, with the mechanism triggered when speech ended and silence began.
