Accents shift pronunciation, and little annotated accented audio exists for training. The authors start from the self-trained wav2vec 2.0 Large model (Wav2Vec 2.0-ST) and fine-tune it with CTC under many data conditions… 2. **[Speech Technology for Everyone: Automatic Speech Recognition for Non-Native English with Transfer Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shibano-2021-speech-technology-everyone-automatic-speech-recognition/)** *(2021 · 5 citations)* English speech recognisers do noticeably worse on non-native (L2) speakers. The main causes are first-language pronunciation habits and the small amount of transcribed accented speech. The authors test whether a strong pretrained model can close this gap through modest fine-tuning alone, with no external language… ## Co-authors here 2 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Peter Sullivan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/peter-sullivan/) ×2 - [Muhammad Abdul-Mageed](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/muhammad-abdul-mageed/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 5 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [1 citing paper with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/toshiko-shibano/cited-by/).
