Hi there,

Just wondering if it possible to finetune the decoder on text only data, for domain adaptation?

Canary's decoder is a Transformer LM conditioned on encoder outputs so it is possible to adapt the decoder of a sequence-to-sequence ASR model like Canary using only text data.

It can be done through shallow or cold/deep fusion, or (what I would recommend) continued pretraining.
