Confidence Score Guided Incremental and Speaker Adaptive Pseudo-Labeling for Semi-Supervised Elderly Speech Recognition
Chengxi Deng, Xurong Xie, Shujie Hu +7
This paper proposes a novel confidence score guided incremental and speaker adaptive pseudo-labeling approach for semi-supervised elderly speech recognition. It facilitates higher-…
Decoding while Adapting: Zero-Shot Online Speaker Adaptation via Audio-Textual Prompts for Elderly Speech Recognition
Chengxi Deng, Xurong Xie, Shujie Hu +7
This paper proposes a novel cross-utterance audio-textual prompts based speaker adaptation approach for elderly speech recognition. It enables zero-shot, real-time adaptation to un…
Explainable and Trustworthy Speech Emotion Recognition Using Confidence Score and Reinforcement Learning Rectified Speech Emotion Descriptors
Youjun Chen, Xurong Xie, Mengzhe Geng +9
Explainable and trustworthy speech emotion recognition (SER) remains a challenging task to date, largely due to the scarcity of SER data with reliable speech emotion descriptor (SE…
Towards Personalized Federated Learning for Dysarthric Speech Recognition
Tao Zhong, Mengzhe Geng, Jiajun Deng +2
Speech recognition is challenging for dysarthric speakers. While federated learning (FL)-based ASR can be an effective tool for protecting privacy, it suffers from heterogeneity is…
Towards Data-free and Training-free Compression for Speech Foundation Models Using Parameter Clustering
Haoning Xu, Zhaoqing Li, Huimeng Wang +4
This paper presents a novel data-free and training-free compression approach for speech foundation models using channelwise clustering via k-means. More fine-grained, mixed sparsit…
IRAF: Interference-Resilient Adaptive Fusion for Noise-Robust End-to-End Full-Duplex Spoken Dialogue Systems
Tao Zhong, Jiajun Deng, Nikita Kuzmin +6
Full-duplex spoken dialogue models allow voice agents to listen and speak concurrently, enabling natural interaction with real-time overlap. However, end-to-end dual-channel models…
