Splitformer

Overview

Splitformer is a 36.7M parameters Conformer-based ASR model trained from scratch on 1000 hours of the LibriSpeech dataset with an early‐exit objective.

This architecture introduces parallel downsampling layers before the first and last exits to improve performance with minimal extra overhead, while retaining inference speed.

Our code for training and inference is available on our GitHub repository.
