Leveraging Soft Distributions of SSL-Derived Discrete Speech Tokens for Downstream Inference
Kentaro Onda, Satoru Fukayama, Daisuke Saito +1
Discrete speech tokens obtained from self-supervised learning (SSL) models provide efficient data compression while maintaining strong performance, and have been widely used as int…
A Pilot Study of Applying Sequence-to-Sequence Voice Conversion to Evaluate the Intelligibility of L2 Speech Using a Native Speaker's Shadowings
Haopeng Geng, Daisuke Saito, Nobuaki Minematsu
Utterances by L2 speakers can be unintelligible due to mispronunciation and improper prosody. In computer-aided language learning systems, textual feedback is often provided using…
Simulating Native Speaker Shadowing for Nonnative Speech Assessment with Latent Speech Representations
Haopeng Geng, Daisuke Saito, Nobuaki Minematsu
Evaluating speech intelligibility is a critical task in computer-aided language learning systems. Traditional methods often rely on word error rates (WER) provided by automatic spe…
