Dual-output L2 speech recognition faces representational entanglement

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

IMPACT Highlights limitations in multi-task learning for speech recognition, suggesting new framework designs are needed to improve accuracy.

    Multi-task Learning is Not Enough: Representational Entanglement in Dual-output Second Language Speech Recognition

    arXiv:2606.06065v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Second-language (L2) speech recognition often requires transcriptions of pronunciations and intended meanings. Multi-task learning (MTL) is a natural approach because it assumes that shared representations benefit both outputs. Howe…
