Recently, end-to-end (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR) models have made great strides and exhibit excellent performance in general speech recognition. However, there remain several challenging scenarios that E2E models are not…

In recent years, the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems has made considerable progress. Unfortunately, for people with speech impairments, such as people treated for oral cancer (OC), ASR performance is still lagging…

Automatic recognition of dysarthric speech remains a highly challenging task to date. Neuro-motor conditions and co-occurring physical disabilities create difficulty in large-scale data collection for ASR system development. Adapting SSL…

Recent advancements in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems, exemplified by Whisper, have demonstrated the potential of these systems to approach human-level performance given sufficient data. However, this progress doesn't readily…

Whisper's robust performance in automatic speech recognition (ASR) is often attributed to its massive 680k-hour training set, an impractical scale for most researchers. In this work, we examine how linguistic and acoustic diversity in…

We explore cross-lingual multi-speaker speech synthesis and cross-lingual voice conversion applied to data augmentation for automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems in low/medium-resource scenarios. Through extensive experiments, we show…

The automatic recognition of pathological speech, particularly from children with any articulatory impairment, is a challenging task due to various reasons. The lack of available domain specific data is one such obstacle that hinders its…

Most of the current speech data augmentation methods operate on either the raw waveform or the amplitude spectrum of speech. In this paper, we propose a novel speech data augmentation method called PhasePerturbation that operates…

Nowadays, the main problem of deep learning techniques used in the development of automatic speech recognition (ASR) models is the lack of transcribed data. The goal of this research is to propose a new data augmentation method to improve…

End-to-end models have gradually become the preferred option for automatic speech recognition (ASR) applications. During the training of end-to-end ASR, data augmentation is a quite effective technique for regularizing the neural networks.…

Despite recent progress in automatic speech recognition (ASR), elderly ASR (EASR) remains challenging due to limited training data and the distinct acoustic and linguistic characteristics of elderly speech. In this work, we address data…

Building a high quality automatic speech recognition (ASR) system with limited training data has been a challenging task particularly for a narrow target population. Open-sourced ASR systems, trained on sufficient data from adults, are…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems have dramatically improved over the last few years. ASR systems are most often trained from 'typical' speech, which means that underrepresented groups don't experience the same level of…

This paper presents a method for selecting appropriate synthetic speech samples from a given large text-to-speech (TTS) dataset as supplementary training data for an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model. We trained a neural network,…

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems struggle with child speech due to its distinct acoustic and linguistic variability and limited availability of child speech datasets, leading to high transcription error rates. While ASR error…

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 speech differ substantially from normally phonated speech and…

In recent years, automatic speech recognition (ASR) models greatly improved transcription performance both in clean, low noise, acoustic conditions and in reverberant environments. However, all these systems rely on the availability of…

End-to-end models have achieved significant improvement on automatic speech recognition. One common method to improve performance of these models is expanding the data-space through data augmentation. Meanwhile, human auditory inspired…

While deep learning based end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems have greatly simplified modeling pipelines, they suffer from the data sparsity issue. In this work, we propose a self-training method with an end-to-end system…

In end-to-end automatic speech recognition system, one of the difficulties for language expansion is the limited paired speech and text training data. In this paper, we propose a novel method to generate augmented samples with unpaired…
