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…
CS-FLEURS: A Massively Multilingual and Code-Switched Speech Dataset
Brian Yan, Injy Hamed, Shuichiro Shimizu +24
We present CS-FLEURS, a new dataset for developing and evaluating code-switched speech recognition and translation systems beyond high-resourced languages. CS-FLEURS consists of 4…
OpenBEATs: A Fully Open-Source General-Purpose Audio Encoder
Shikhar Bharadwaj, Samuele Cornell, Kwanghee Choi +4
Masked token prediction has emerged as a powerful pre-training objective across language, vision, and speech, offering the potential to unify these diverse modalities through a sin…
On-device Streaming Discrete Speech Units
Kwanghee Choi, Masao Someki, Emma Strubell +1
Discrete speech units (DSUs) are derived from clustering the features of self-supervised speech models (S3Ms). DSUs offer significant advantages for on-device streaming speech appl…
Towards Inclusive ASR: Investigating Voice Conversion for Dysarthric Speech Recognition in Low-Resource Languages
Chin-Jou Li, Eunjung Yeo, Kwanghee Choi +7
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) for dysarthric speech remains challenging due to data scarcity, particularly in non-English languages. To address this, we fine-tune a voice conv…
Leveraging Allophony in Self-Supervised Speech Models for Atypical Pronunciation Assessment
Kwanghee Choi, Eunjung Yeo, Kalvin Chang +2
Allophony refers to the variation in the phonetic realization of a phoneme based on its phonetic environment. Modeling allophones is crucial for atypical pronunciation assessment,…
Discrete Speech Unit Extraction via Independent Component Analysis
Tomohiko Nakamura, Kwanghee Choi, Keigo Hojo +3
Self-supervised speech models (S3Ms) have become a common tool for the speech processing community, leveraging representations for downstream tasks. Clustering S3M representations…
