Pretrained self-supervised speech models can recognize unseen consonants, improving speech recognition for low-resource languages

advanced Published 11 Jun 2026
Action Steps
  1. Train a self-supervised speech model on a large-scale audio dataset
  2. Evaluate the model's performance on recognizing unseen consonants
  3. Fine-tune the model on a low-resource language dataset to improve performance
  4. Compare the model's performance with other state-of-the-art speech recognition models
  5. Apply the model to real-world speech recognition tasks, such as voice assistants or transcription services

Title: Pretrained self-supervised speech models can recognize unseen consonants

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.11542v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern pretrained self-supervised automatic speech recognition models are trained on large-scale audio data to encode speech into contextualized representations. However, their training data are heavily skewed toward high-resource languages with little data from low-resource languages, raising concerns about the potential underrepresentation of typologically uncommon speech sounds such as click consonants primarily found in Khoisan languages.
