| Challenge: | aaron e. sanchez and joe saunders: automatic speech recognition still faces a major challenge . they say accents are a way of pronouncing a language, and speakers always have manner of speaking . esassen: accents can be used to identify non-native speakers of a speech . |
| Approach: | They propose to create a database of speech samples in non-native accents for ASR testing . they also propose to introduce accent neutralization of non- native accents to native accent . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is compared against human-labelled accent classes and is generalized against human data. |
