New ArtBoost technique enhances AI speech-to-articulation models

Researchers have developed ArtBoost, a new data augmentation technique to improve acoustic-to-articulatory inversion (AAI) models. This method utilizes large-scale speech-mesh datasets, originally created for 3D facial animation, to generate pseudo articulatory trajectories. These synthetic trajectories are used for pre-training AAI models before fine-tuning with limited real electromagnetic articulography (EMA) data, leading to consistent performance gains in metrics like PCC and RMSE.

    ArtBoost: Synthetic Articulatory Data Augmentation for Acoustic-to-Articulatory Inversion

    arXiv:2606.16327v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent acoustic-to-articulatory inversion (AAI) models rely on electromagnetic articulography (EMA) data, which are costly and limited in scale. To address this limitation, we propose \textit{ArtBoost}, a novel data augmentation s…
