MedSpeak framework improves medical QA by correcting ASR errors with knowledge graphs

Researchers have developed MedSpeak, a new framework designed to improve the accuracy of spoken question-answering systems in the medical domain. This system utilizes a medical knowledge graph to aid automatic speech recognition (ASR) in correcting errors, particularly with specialized medical terminology. By integrating semantic and phonetic information from the knowledge graph with large language models, MedSpeak enhances both transcript accuracy and the final answer prediction. AI

IMPACT Enhances accuracy for medical QA systems by improving ASR error correction with knowledge graphs and LLMs.

    MedSpeak: A Knowledge Graph-Aided ASR Error Correction Framework for Spoken Medical QA

    arXiv:2602.00981v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Spoken question-answering (SQA) systems relying on automatic speech recognition (ASR) often struggle with accurately recognizing medical terminology. To this end, we propose MedSpeak, a novel knowledge graph-aided ASR error corr…
