Edge Phoneme Recognition for Children's Speech through Age-Aware Training

Detecting phonemes from children's speech has historically been difficult due to the scarcity of training data, and unique characteristics of children's speech. During a phoneme detection competition, we found that training a lightweight model to predict the age of the learner, as well as the phoneme sequence, enabled a 94M-parameter model to outperform WavLM Large models (317M) on the target DrivenData distribution, and fall within approximately 0.
