arXiv:2606. 16595v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Zero-shot cross-lingual phoneme recognition is often hindered by the fragility of direct acoustic-to-symbol mapping, which is susceptible to language-specific variations.
arXiv:2606. 05173v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Masked language modelling (MLM) has been the dominant pre-training objective for text encoders since BERT, yet it encourages representations that are strongly anchored to surface-form token identity rather than deeper semantic structure.
The paper proposes a linguistically structured multi‑task learning framework for recognizing non‑canonical phonemes by decomposing phoneme prediction into articulatory feature dimensions such as manner, place, and voicing. A hierarchical architecture with task‑specific heads and a cross‑attention fusion module is combined with semi‑supervised Momentum Pseudo‑Labeling and a cascaded training strategy that gradually introduces articulatory tasks. Experiments on the L2‑ARCTIC dataset demonstrate significant improvements over baseline models and produce interpretable error patterns aligned with phonological feature structure.

Self-supervised learning from large-scale video data has emerged as a dominant paradigm for visual representation learning. Since audio and visual streams naturally co-occur in video data, extending this success to jointly learn from both modalities is a natural next step, yet it remains challenging.
arXiv:2603. 29042v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Phone recognition (PR) is a key enabler of multilingual and low-resource speech processing tasks, yet robust performance remains elusive.
arXiv:2605. 03297v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: ASR systems based on self-supervised acoustic pretraining and CTC fine-tuning achieve strong performance on native speech but remain sensitive to accent variability.
Recent advances in zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) have substantially improved speech quality and voice cloning fidelity. However, many zero-shot TTS systems still depend on audio prompt transcripts at inference time.
