Towards Robust Dysarthric Speech Recognition: LLM-Agent Post-ASR Correction Beyond WER
Xiuwen Zheng, Sixun Dong, Bornali Phukon +2
While Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is typically benchmarked by word error rate (WER), real-world applications ultimately hinge on semantic fidelity. This mismatch is particul…
The Interspeech 2025 Speech Accessibility Project Challenge
Xiuwen Zheng, Bornali Phukon, Jonghwan Na +13
While the last decade has witnessed significant advancements in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems, performance of these systems for individuals with speech disabilities re…
Aligning ASR Evaluation with Human and LLM Judgments: Intelligibility Metrics Using Phonetic, Semantic, and NLI Approaches
Bornali Phukon, Xiuwen Zheng, Mark Hasegawa-Johnson
Traditional ASR metrics like WER and CER fail to capture intelligibility, especially for dysarthric and dysphonic speech, where semantic alignment matters more than exact word matc…
Fine-Tuning Automatic Speech Recognition for People with Parkinson's: An Effective Strategy for Enhancing Speech Technology Accessibility
Xiuwen Zheng, Bornali Phukon, Mark Hasegawa-Johnson
This paper enhances dysarthric and dysphonic speech recognition by fine-tuning pretrained automatic speech recognition (ASR) models on the 2023-10-05 data package of the Speech Acc…
