Fix FunASR-Nano hallucinating text on silent audio - #3921
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Digital silence decoded to hallucinated fillers (e.g. "嗯。") and, with hotwords set, to unrelated text (e.g. "I am not sure."), because the LLM decoder ran on the audio embeddings regardless of the input content. Detect constant (digital-silence) frames in DecodeStreams() and return an empty transcript before hotwords/language prompt tokens are built, mirroring the existing all_silent short-circuit in the Qwen3-ASR recognizer.

22-23: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAdd a repeated non-uniform frame test.
The current test uses one repeated scalar, so it does not detect the frame-comparison bug. Add a case such as
{1.0f, 2.0f, 1.0f, 2.0f}and assert silence after the helper becomes frame-aware.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Make silence detection frame-aware. The current API, implementation, and tests treat the flattened feature buffer as one repeated scalar. The stated contract requires detecting identical frame vectors.

Root cause
OfflineRecognizerFunASRNanoImpl::DecodeStreams()runs the LLM decoder on the audio embeddings regardless of the input content. For a clip of digital silence, the decoder hallucinates fillers (e.g."嗯。","对吧？") and, when hotwords are set, the hotword-biased prompt produces unrelated text — with--funasr-nano-hotwords="人工智能,大模型,推理引擎", 4 s of digital silence decodes to"I am not sure.".The Qwen3-ASR recognizer in this repo already short-circuits this case:
TrimAudioFeatures()reports all-silent clips andGenerateText()returns an empty result before any hotwords/language prompt tokens are built (#3907). FunASR-Nano has no equivalent check.Fix
FunASRNanoAudioIsSilent()detects constant (digital-silence) frames: dither is disabled for this model family and the fbank is deterministic, so constant samples produce bit-identical frames while any real signal varies from frame to frame.DecodeStreams()returns an empty transcript for such clips before the prompt is built, skipping the encoder adaptor and the LLM entirely.As with the Qwen3-ASR fix, audio with a noise floor is still decoded; this change only covers clips that are exactly silent.
