HASS: Hierarchical Simulation of Logopenic Aphasic Speech for Scalable PPA Detection
Harrison Li, Kevin Wang, Cheol Jun Cho +13
Building a diagnosis model for primary progressive aphasia (PPA) has been challenging due to the data scarcity. Collecting clinical data at scale is limited by the high vulnerabili…
LCS-CTC: Leveraging Soft Alignments to Enhance Phonetic Transcription Robustness
Zongli Ye, Jiachen Lian, Akshaj Gupta +18
Phonetic speech transcription is crucial for fine-grained linguistic analysis and downstream speech applications. While Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) is a widely used…
Towards Accurate Phonetic Error Detection Through Phoneme Similarity Modeling
Xuanru Zhou, Jiachen Lian, Cheol Jun Cho +12
Phonetic error detection, a core subtask of automatic pronunciation assessment, identifies pronunciation deviations at the phoneme level. Speech variability from accents and dysflu…
Analysis and Evaluation of Synthetic Data Generation in Speech Dysfluency Detection
Jinming Zhang, Xuanru Zhou, Jiachen Lian +10
Speech dysfluency detection is crucial for clinical diagnosis and language assessment, but existing methods are limited by the scarcity of high-quality annotated data. Although rec…
Seamless Dysfluent Speech Text Alignment for Disordered Speech Analysis
Zongli Ye, Jiachen Lian, Xuanru Zhou +14
Accurate alignment of dysfluent speech with intended text is crucial for automating the diagnosis of neurodegenerative speech disorders. Traditional methods often fail to model pho…
Dysfluent WFST: A Framework for Zero-Shot Speech Dysfluency Transcription and Detection
Chenxu Guo, Jiachen Lian, Xuanru Zhou +13
Automatic detection of speech dysfluency aids speech-language pathologists in efficient transcription of disordered speech, enhancing diagnostics and treatment planning. Traditiona…
