An Empirical Recipe for Universal Phone Recognition
Shikhar Bharadwaj, Chin-Jou Li, Kwanghee Choi +4
The paper introduces PhoneticXEUS, a multilingual phone recognition system trained on large-scale data that achieves state-of-the-art error rates on both many languages and accente…
PRiSM: Benchmarking Phone Realization in Speech Models
Shikhar Bharadwaj, Chin-Jou Li, Yoonjae Kim +13
Phone recognition (PR) serves as the atomic interface for language-agnostic modeling for cross-lingual speech processing and phonetic analysis. Despite prolonged efforts in develop…
Phone Segmentation and Recognition through Phonological Activation Mapping
Shikhar Bharadwaj, Kwanghee Choi, Stephen McIntosh +8
Phone segmentation and recognition are inherently related tasks, yet modern approaches typically model them separately. We argue that phonetic structure is already latent in the re…
POWSM: A Phonetic Open Whisper-Style Speech Foundation Model
Chin-Jou Li, Kalvin Chang, Shikhar Bharadwaj +5
Recent advances in spoken language processing have led to substantial progress in phonetic tasks such as automatic speech recognition (ASR), phone recognition (PR), grapheme-to-pho…
Low-Resource Audio Codec (LRAC): 2025 Challenge Description
Kamil Wojcicki, Yusuf Ziya Isik, Laura Lechler +8
While recent neural audio codecs deliver superior speech quality at ultralow bitrates over traditional methods, their practical adoption is hindered by obstacles related to low-res…
Streaming Endpointer for Spoken Dialogue using Neural Audio Codecs and Label-Delayed Training
Sathvik Udupa, Shinji Watanabe, Petr Schwarz +1
Accurate, low-latency endpointing is crucial for effective spoken dialogue systems. While traditional endpointers often rely on spectrum-based audio features, this work proposes re…
