Title: S-DiverSe: Spanish Diverse Speech
Abstract summary: S-DiverSe is a corpus of 3.2 hours of in-the-wild Spanish speech from 22 speakers with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and stroke.<n>The dataset contains 444 manually transcribed audio segments with metadata on speaker sex, disease type, and intelligibility.

Abstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has advanced remarkably for standard speech, yet speech affected by neurological conditions remains a challenge. We present S-DiverSe (Spanish Diverse Speech), a corpus of 3.2 hours of in-the-wild Spanish speech from 22 speakers with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and stroke. The dataset contains 444 manually transcribed audio segments with metadata on speaker sex, disease type, and intelligibility. S-DiverSe is designed to support ASR evaluation and development for neurologically affected Spanish speech. We describe the dataset, analyze its composition, and report baseline ASR results alongside initial adaptation experiments. Our findings reveal that heuristic text post-processing is more robust than fine-tuning for out-of-domain neurological Spanish speech. This underscores the need for dedicated in-the-wild Spanish benchmarks.

ESCUCHA comprises 1,000 human-curated questions paired with audio, totaling 162.9 hours sourced directly from the wild'' rather than drawn from existing datasets.<n>The benchmark emphasizes reasoning, spanning 9 perceptual and 10 reasoning categories, and it captures linguistic diversity through multiple Spanish accents and non-normative speech.<n> Benchmarking several state-of-the-art multimodal and speech models reveals substantial performance gaps relative to trained humans.

Speech representations often encode language-dependent structure that can confound dysarthria detection.<n>We propose a representation-level language shift that aligns source-language self-supervised speech representations with the target-language distribution.<n>We evaluate the approach on oral DDK recordings from Parkinson's disease speech datasets in Czech, German, and Spanish.

Joint Pre-Training with Speech and Bilingual Text for Direct Speech to Speech Translation [94.80029087828888]
Direct speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) is an attractive research topic with many advantages compared to cascaded S2ST. Direct S2ST suffers from the data scarcity problem because the corpora from speech of the source language to speech of the target language are very rare. We propose in this paper a Speech2S model, which is jointly pre-trained with unpaired speech and bilingual text data for direct speech-to-speech translation tasks.

Cross-lingual Self-Supervised Speech Representations for Improved Dysarthric Speech Recognition [15.136348385992047]
This study explores the usefulness of using Wav2Vec self-supervised speech representations as features for training an ASR system for dysarthric speech. We train an acoustic model with features extracted from Wav2Vec, Hubert, and the cross-lingual XLSR model. Results suggest that speech representations pretrained on large unlabelled data can improve word error rate (WER) performance.
