Age-Aware Adapter Tuning for Children's Speech Recognition

arXiv:2606.05440v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Children's automatic speech recognition (ASR) remains challenging because child speech differs from adult speech and varies substantially across developmental stages. While adapter tuning provides a promising way to adapt large pretrained ASR models to children's speech, a single shared child adapter may not fully capture age-dependent variation. In this work, we present one of the first systematic studies of age-aware adapter tuning for child ASR, focusing on speech from children aged 3--12 and older years. We propose age-specialized adapters t…
