New method InterCorrect enhances ASR fairness for diverse demographic groups

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method called InterCorrect to improve the fairness of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, particularly for individuals belonging to multiple demographic groups. The approach involves fine-tuning a base model on specific demographic subsets and then merging these adapted components. Intersection-specific correction vectors are applied to further refine the merged model, addressing critical cross-axis demographic pairs. Experiments demonstrated that this method significantly reduces word error rates (WER) and improves performance across various demographic axes. AI

IMPACT Improves fairness in speech recognition systems, particularly for users with intersecting demographic identities.

    InterCorrect: Intersection-Aware Correction of Demographic Model Merging for Fair ASR

    Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems often show uneven performance across demographic groups, and errors can be especially difficult to address for speakers belonging to multiple demographic groups. This work studies demographic-aware model merging for fair Speech-LLM-based…
