The ML-SUPERB 2.0 Challenge: Towards Inclusive ASR Benchmarking for All Language Varieties

William Chen, Chutong Meng, Jiatong Shi +10

Recent improvements in multilingual ASR have not been equally distributed across languages and language varieties. To advance state-of-the-art (SOTA) ASR models, we present the Int…

Improving Speech Enhancement with Multi-Metric Supervision from Learned Quality Assessment

Wei Wang, Wangyou Zhang, Chenda Li +3

Speech quality assessment (SQA) aims to predict the perceived quality of speech signals under a wide range of distortions. It is inherently connected to speech enhancement (SE), wh…

Fusion of Discrete Representations and Self-Augmented Representations for Multilingual Automatic Speech Recognition

Shih-heng Wang, Jiatong Shi, Chien-yu Huang +2

Self-supervised learning (SSL) models have shown exceptional capabilities across various speech-processing tasks. Continuous SSL representations are effective but suffer from high…
