• Title: VOTE400(Voide Of The Elderly 400 Hours): A Speech Dataset to Study Voice Interface for Elderly-Care
• Authors: Minsu Jang, Sangwon Seo, Dohyung Kim, Jaeyeon Lee, Jaehong Kim, Jun-Hwan Ahn
• Abstract summary: The dataset includes about 300 hours of continuous dialog speech and 100 hours of read speech, both recorded by the elderly people aged 65 years or over. A preliminary experiment showed that speech recognition system trained with VOTE400 can outperform conventional systems in speech recognition of elderly people's voice.

• Abstract: This paper introduces a large-scale Korean speech dataset, called VOTE400, that can be used for analyzing and recognizing voices of the elderly people. The dataset includes about 300 hours of continuous dialog speech and 100 hours of read speech, both recorded by the elderly people aged 65 years or over. A preliminary experiment showed that speech recognition system trained with VOTE400 can outperform conventional systems in speech recognition of elderly people's voice. This work is a multi-organizational effort led by ETRI and MINDs Lab Inc. for the purpose of advancing the speech recognition performance of the elderly-care robots.

  Most languages lack sufficient paired speech and text data to effectively train automatic speech recognition systems. We propose the removal of reliance on a phoneme lexicon to develop unsupervised ASR systems. We experimentally demonstrate that an unsupervised speech recognizer can emerge from joint speech-to-speech and text-to-text masked token-infilling.

  The EARS dataset comprises 107 speakers from diverse backgrounds, totaling in 100 hours of clean, anechoic speech data. The dataset covers a large range of different speaking styles, including emotional speech, different reading styles, non-verbal sounds, and conversational freeform speech. We benchmark various methods for speech enhancement and dereverberation on the dataset and evaluate their performance through a set of instrumental metrics.

  Many consumer speech recognition systems are not tuned for people with speech disabilities. We propose a query-by-example-based personalized phrase recognition system that is trained using small amounts of speech. Performance degrades as the number of phrases increases, but consistently outperforms ASR systems when trained with 50 unique phrases.

  We train several voice conversion models using self-supervised speech representations. Converted voices retain a low word error rate within 1% of the original voice. Experiments on dysarthric speech data show that speech features relevant to articulation, prosody, phonation and phonology can be extracted from anonymized voices.

  An unsupervised text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) system learns to generate the speech waveform corresponding to any written sentence in a language. This paper proposes an unsupervised TTS system by leveraging recent advances in unsupervised automatic speech recognition (ASR) Our unsupervised system can achieve comparable performance to the supervised system in seven languages with about 10-20 hours of speech each.
