Objective and Subjective Evaluation of Diffusion-Based Speech Enhancement for Dysarthric Speech

Dimme de Groot, Tanvina Patel, Devendra Kayande +2

Dysarthric speech poses significant challenges for automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems due to its high variability and reduced intelligibility. In this work we explore the u…

How to Evaluate Automatic Speech Recognition: Comparing Different Performance and Bias Measures

Tanvina Patel, Wiebke Hutiri, Aaron Yi Ding +1

There is increasingly more evidence that automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are biased against different speakers and speaker groups, e.g., due to gender, age, or accent. R…

As Biased as You Measure: Methodological Pitfalls of Bias Evaluations in Speaker Verification Research

Wiebke Hutiri, Tanvina Patel, Aaron Yi Ding +1

Detecting and mitigating bias in speaker verification systems is important, as datasets, processing choices and algorithms can lead to performance differences that systematically f…

Improving child speech recognition with augmented child-like speech

Yuanyuan Zhang, Zhengjun Yue, Tanvina Patel +1

State-of-the-art ASRs show suboptimal performance for child speech. The scarcity of child speech limits the development of child speech recognition (CSR). Therefore, we studied chi…

Exploring data augmentation in bias mitigation against non-native-accented speech

Yuanyuan Zhang, Aaricia Herygers, Tanvina Patel +2

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) should serve every speaker, not only the majority ``standard'' speakers of a language. In order to build inclusive ASR, mitigating the bias again…

Improving Whispered Speech Recognition Performance using Pseudo-whispered based Data Augmentation

Zhaofeng Lin, Tanvina Patel, Odette Scharenborg

Whispering is a distinct form of speech known for its soft, breathy, and hushed characteristics, often used for private communication. The acoustic characteristics of whispered spe…

Using Data Augmentations and VTLN to Reduce Bias in Dutch End-to-End Speech Recognition Systems

Tanvina Patel, Odette Scharenborg

Speech technology has improved greatly for norm speakers, i.e., adult native speakers of a language without speech impediments or strong accents. However, non-norm or diverse speak…

Predicting within and across language phoneme recognition performance of self-supervised learning speech pre-trained models

Hang Ji, Tanvina Patel, Odette Scharenborg

In this work, we analyzed and compared speech representations extracted from different frozen self-supervised learning (SSL) speech pre-trained models on their ability to capture a…
