The units they discover are also shorter and more numerous than real phonemes, and they stay sensitive to speaker and phonetic context. This limits their use for low-resource and unwritten languages. 3. **[SpidR-Adapt: A Universal Speech Representation Model for Few-Shot Adaptation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/luthra-2026-spidr-adapt-universal-speech-representation/)** *(2026)* Self-supervised speech models such as HuBERT and WavLM need thousands of hours of audio to learn useful linguistic units. Infants manage this with a few hundred hours. SpidR-Adapt aims to narrow that gap, so that speech units can be learned for a new language from very little unlabeled audio. ## Co-authors here 10 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Angelo Ortiz Tandazo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/angelo-ortiz-tandazo/) ×2 - [Emmanuel Dupoux](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/emmanuel-dupoux/) ×2 - [Dieuwke Hupkes](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dieuwke-hupkes/) - [Gregoire Mialon](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/gregoire-mialon/) - [Martin Gleize](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/martin-gleize/) - [Pascal Vincent](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pascal-vincent/) - [Phillip Rust](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/phillip-rust/) - [Thomas Hueber](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/thomas-hueber/) - [Thomas Scialom](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/thomas-scialom/) - [Xavier Martinet](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xavier-martinet/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/) ×2: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) ×2 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 15 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [5 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/youssef-benchekroun/cited-by/).
