A new research paper explores the challenges of multi-task learning (MTL) in second-language speech recognition, specifically for Korean and English. The study found that while MTL can improve the recognition of intended meaning, it often degrades the accuracy of surface transcription, particularly for English. This degradation is linked to representational entanglement within the model's encoder, where distinct task representations are not maintained, hindering performance. AI
