MIND THE SHIFT: USING DELTA SSL EMBEDDINGS TO ENHANCE CHILD ASR

ICASSP 2026poster

Self-supervised learning (SSL) models have achieved impressive results across many speech tasks, yet child automatic speech recognition (ASR) remains challenging due to limited data and pretraining domain mismatch. Fine-tuning SSL models on child speech induces shifts in the representation space. We…

Selective Attention Merging for low resource tasks: A case study of Child ASR

ICASSP 2025accepted

While Speech Foundation Models (SFMs) excel in various speech tasks, their performance for low-resource tasks such as child Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is hampered by limited pretraining data. To address this, we explore different model merging techniques to leverage knowledge from models tra…
