arXiv:2606.06985v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Code-switching (CS), the alternation between multiple languages within a single utterance, remains challenging for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). To address this issue, we propose a Point-of-Interest (POI)-aware contrastive training framework that improves recognition at CS-critical regions. We first identify CS spans by adopting POI detection method from literature, then construct acoustically plausible near-miss hypotheses by perturbing POIs in ASR N-best outputs and expanding candidates with a large language model. Hard but plausible nega
