Recent breakthroughs in multi-talker ASR (MT-ASR) and speaker diarization (SD) rely on synthetic data to mitigate the scarcity of large-scale conversational recordings, yet the impact of specific simulation choices remains poorly…

Multi-speaker automatic speech recognition (ASR) aims to transcribe conversational speech involving multiple speakers, requiring the model to capture not only what was said, but also who said it and sometimes when it was spoken. Recent…

Automatic assessment of dysarthric speech is essential for sustained treatments and rehabilitation. However, obtaining atypical speech is challenging, often leading to data scarcity issues. To tackle the problem, we propose a novel…

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…

In this paper, we propose a text-to-speech (TTS)-driven data augmentation method for improving the quality of a non-autoregressive (AR) TTS system. Recently proposed non-AR models, such as FastSpeech 2, have successfully achieved fast…

We present a comprehensive evaluation of pretrained speech embedding systems for the detection of dysarthric speech using existing accessible data. Dysarthric speech datasets are often small and can suffer from recording biases as well as…

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems in the clinical domain face significant challenges, notably the need to recognise specialised medical vocabulary accurately and meet stringent precision requirements. We introduce United-MedASR, a…

Diffusion and flow-based non-autoregressive (NAR) models have shown strong promise in large language modeling, however, their potential for automatic speech recognition (ASR) remains largely unexplored. We propose Drax, a discrete flow…

Most text-to-speech (TTS) methods use high-quality speech corpora recorded in a well-designed environment, incurring a high cost for data collection. To solve this problem, existing noise-robust TTS methods are intended to use noisy speech…

This work addresses the mismatch problem between the distribution of training data (source) and testing data (target), in the challenging context of dysarthric speech recognition. We focus on Speaker Adaptation (SA) in command speech…

Dysarthric speech reconstruction (DSR) systems aim to automatically convert dysarthric speech into normal-sounding speech. The technology eases communication with speakers affected by the neuromotor disorder and enhances their social…

Dysarthric speech reconstruction is challenging due to its pathological sound patterns. Preserving speaker identity, especially without access to normal speech, is a key challenge. Our proposed approach uses contrastive learning to extract…

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems have been evolving quickly and reaching human parity in certain cases. The systems usually perform pretty well on reading style and clean speech, however, most of the available systems suffer from…

Recently neural architecture search(NAS) has been successfully used in image classification, natural language processing, and automatic speech recognition(ASR) tasks for finding the state-of-the-art(SOTA) architectures than those…

This paper presents a speech intelligibility model based on automatic speech recognition (ASR), combining phoneme probabilities from deep neural networks (DNN) and a performance measure that estimates the word error rate from these…

In recent Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems, a neural vocoder often generates speech samples by solely conditioning on acoustic features predicted from an acoustic model. However, there are always distortions existing in the predicted acoustic…

Attention-based encoder-decoder architectures such as Listen, Attend, and Spell (LAS), subsume the acoustic, pronunciation and language model components of a traditional automatic speech recognition (ASR) system into a single neural…

Purpose: Speech intelligibility is a critical outcome in the assessment and management of dysarthria, yet most research and clinical practices have focused on English, limiting their applicability across languages. This commentary…

It is estimated that around 70 million people worldwide are affected by a speech disorder called stuttering. With recent advances in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), voice assistants are increasingly useful in our everyday lives. Many…

Articulatory features are inherently invariant to acoustic signal distortion and have been successfully incorporated into automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems for normal speech. Their practical application to disordered speech…
