Towards Dys-XAI: Influence-Based Explanations for Dysarthria Severity Assessment
Xiaoliang Wu, Qiyang Sun, Yupei Li +3
Dysarthria severity assessment is essential for therapy planning and longitudinal monitoring, yet manual perceptual rating is time-consuming and variable across clinicians. Althoug…
Phonetic Error Analysis of Raw Waveform Acoustic Models
Erfan Loweimi, Zhengjun Yue, Andrea Carmantini +3
We analyse error patterns of raw waveform acoustic models on TIMIT phone recognition beyond the overall phone error rate (PER). PER is decomposed across three broad phonetic class…
Aligning Stuttered-Speech Research with End-User Needs: Scoping Review, Survey, and Guidelines
Hawau Olamide Toyin, Mutiah Apampa, Toluwani Aremu +6
Atypical speech is receiving greater attention in speech technology research, but much of this work unfolds with limited interdisciplinary dialogue. For stuttered speech in particu…
Probing Whisper for Dysarthric Speech in Detection and Assessment
Zhengjun Yue, Devendra Kayande, Zoran Cvetkovic +1
Large-scale end-to-end models such as Whisper have shown strong performance on diverse speech tasks, but their internal behavior on pathological speech remains poorly understood. U…
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…
