ADVANCED MODELING OF INTERLANGUAGE SPEECH INTELLIGIBILITY BENEFIT WITH L1-L2 MULTI-TASK LEARNING USING DIFFERENTIABLE K-MEANS FOR ACCENT-ROBUST DISCRETE TOKEN-BASED ASR
ICASSP 2026poster
Building ASR systems robust to foreign-accented speech is an important challenge in today's globalized world. A prior study explored the way to enhance the performance of phonetic token-based ASR on accented speech by reproducing the phenomenon known as interlanguage speech intelligibility benefit (…
