Morphosyntactic lexicons and word vector representations have both proven useful for improving the accuracy of statistical part-of-speech taggers. Here we compare the performances of four systems on datasets covering 16 languages, two of…
Multilingual large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in linguistically diverse regions like India, yet most interpretability tools remain tailored to English. Prior work reveals that LLMs often operate in English centric…
Hindi, one of the most spoken language of India, exhibits a diverse array of accents due to its usage among individuals from diverse linguistic origins. To enable a robust evaluation of Hindi ASR systems on multiple accents, we create a…
Phone level localization of mis-articulation is a key requirement for an automatic articulation error assessment system. A robust phone segmentation technique is essential to aid in real-time assessment of phone level mis-articulations of…
In this paper, we report the results of the TeamNRC's participation in the BHASHA-Task 1 Grammatical Error Correction shared task https://github.com/BHASHA-Workshop/IndicGEC2025/ for 5 Indian languages. Our approach, focusing on…
It is proposed that the theory of dynamical systems offers appropriate tools to model many phonological aspects of both speech production and perception. A dynamic account of speech rhythm is shown to be useful for description of both…
Transformer-based models have recently become very popular for sequence-to-sequence applications such as machine translation and speech recognition. This work proposes a dual-decoder transformer model for low-resource multilingual speech…
This paper introduces a novel multimodal framework for hate speech detection in deepfake audio, excelling even in zero-shot scenarios. Unlike previous approaches, our method uses contrastive learning to jointly align audio and text…
Fine-tuning multilingual ASR models like Whisper for low-resource languages often improves read speech but degrades spontaneous audio performance, a phenomenon we term studio-bias. To diagnose this mismatch, we introduce Vividh-ASR, a…
Recent advancements in language models based on recurrent neural networks and transformers architecture have achieved state-of-the-art results on a wide range of natural language processing tasks such as pos tagging, named entity…
Transformers have recently become very popular for sequence-to-sequence applications such as machine translation and speech recognition. In this work, we propose a multi-task learning-based transformer model for low-resource multilingual…
Neural language models (LMs) have shown to benefit significantly from enhancing word vectors with subword-level information, especially for morphologically rich languages. This has been mainly tackled by providing subword-level information…
In this paper we present a system based on SVM ensembles trained on characters and words to discriminate between five similar languages of the Indo-Aryan family: Hindi, Braj Bhasha, Awadhi, Bhojpuri, and Magahi. We investigate the…
The evolution and diversity of a language is evident from it's various dialects. If the various dialects are not addressed in technological advancements like automatic speech recognition and speech synthesis, there is a chance that these…
Crowdsourced pairwise evaluation has emerged as a scalable approach for assessing foundation models. However, applying it to Text to Speech(TTS) introduces high variance due to linguistic diversity and multidimensional nature of speech…
Automatic analysis of poetic rhythm is a challenging task that involves linguistics, literature, and computer science. When the language to be analyzed is known, rule-based systems or data-driven methods can be used. In this paper, we…
Sonorant sounds are characterized by regions with prominent formant structure, high energy and high degree of periodicity. In this work, the vocal-tract system, excitation source and suprasegmental features derived from the speech signal…
Multilingual speakers often switch between languages to express themselves on social communication platforms. Sometimes, the original script of the language is preserved, while using a common script for all the languages is quite popular as…
Appropriate feature set for representation of pattern classes is one of the most important aspects of handwritten character recognition. The effectiveness of features depends on the discriminating power of the features chosen to represent…
Speech signals of the letter 'zha' in Tamil language of 3 males and 3 females were coded using an improved version of Linear Predictive Coding (LPC). The sampling frequency was at 16 kHz and the bit rate was at 15450 bits per second, where…
