On-the-fly Feature Based Speaker Adaptation for Dysarthric and Elderly Speech Recognition. (arXiv:2203.14593v2 [eess.AS] UPDATED)

Automatic recognition of dysarthric and elderly speech highly challenging
tasks to date. Speaker-level heterogeneity attributed to accent or gender
commonly found in normal speech, when aggregated with age and speech impairment
severity, create large diversity among speakers. Speaker adaptation techniques
play a crucial role in personalization of ASR systems for such users. Their
mobility issues limit the amount of speaker-level data available for model
based adaptation. To this end, this paper investigates two novel forms of
feature based on-the-fly rapid …
