HuPER: A Human-Inspired Framework for Phonetic Perception

HuPER is a human-inspired framework that models phonetic perception as adaptive inference over acoustic‑phonetics evidence and linguistic knowledge. Using only 100 hours of training data, it achieves state‑of‑the‑art phonetic error rates on five English benchmarks and demonstrates strong zero‑shot transfer to 95 unseen languages. It uniquely enables adaptive, multi‑path phonetic perception across diverse acoustic conditions, and all training data, models, and code are open‑sourced.
