Idiosyncratic Versus Normative Modeling of Atypical Speech Recognition: Dysarthric Case Studies (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Past studies have focused on fully personalized (or idiosyncratic) models for atypical speech . past studies focused on idiotic models, but current approaches focus on generalizing and handling idiomatic patterns . |
| Approach: | They compare four models that generalize and handle idiosyncrasy to find atypical speech . they find the dysarthric-idios-ync model performs better than the idioconic approach . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model generalizes and handles idiosyncrasy better than the idiocy model . the model requires less personalized data and reduces word error rate from 71% to 32% . |
