Self-supervised ASR Models and Features For Dysarthric and Elderly Speech Recognition
Shujie Hu, Xurong Xie, Mengzhe Geng +8
Self-supervised learning (SSL) based speech foundation models have been applied to a wide range of ASR tasks. However, their application to dysarthric and elderly speech via data-i…
One-pass Multiple Conformer and Foundation Speech Systems Compression and Quantization Using An All-in-one Neural Model
Zhaoqing Li, Haoning Xu, Tianzi Wang +7
We propose a novel one-pass multiple ASR systems joint compression and quantization approach using an all-in-one neural model. A single compression cycle allows multiple nested sys…
Use of Speech Impairment Severity for Dysarthric Speech Recognition
Mengzhe Geng, Zengrui Jin, Tianzi Wang +7
A key challenge in dysarthric speech recognition is the speaker-level diversity attributed to both speaker-identity associated factors such as gender, and speech impairment severit…
Confidence Score Based Speaker Adaptation of Conformer Speech Recognition Systems
Jiajun Deng, Xurong Xie, Tianzi Wang +6
Speaker adaptation techniques provide a powerful solution to customise automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems for individual users. Practical application of unsupervised model-…
