Paban Sapkota, Hemant Kumar Kathania, Sudarsana Reddy Kadiri +1
Dysarthric speech recognition is crucial for facilitating effective communication among individuals with dysarthria. However, accurately recognizing dysarthric speech poses signifi…
Systematic Study of Dysarthric Speech Recognition: Spectral Features and Acoustic Models
Paban Sapkota, Hemant Kumar Kathania, Mikko Kurimo +2
The challenge associated with recognizing dysarthric speech primarily arises from pronounced acoustic variability attributed to impaired articulatory precision. Past research has d…
Can Layer-wise SSL Features Improve Zero-Shot ASR Performance for Children's Speech?
Abhijit Sinha, Hemant Kumar Kathania, Sudarsana Reddy Kadiri +1
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems often struggle to accurately process children's speech due to its distinct and highly variable acoustic and linguistic characteristics. W…
Layer-Wise Analysis of Self-Supervised Representations for Age and Gender Classification in Children's Speech
Abhijit Sinha, Harishankar Kumar, Mohit Joshi +3
Children's speech presents challenges for age and gender classification due to high variability in pitch, articulation, and developmental traits. While self-supervised learning (SS…
