Multi-Task Learning for Non-Canonical Phoneme Recognition via Articulatory Feature Decomposition
Pathological and more broadly non-canonical speech present significant challenges for automatic phoneme recognition due to systematic deviations from canonical pronunciation and limited availability of labeled clinical speech data. Existing phoneme recognition systems are typically trained on canonical speech and treat phonemes as atomic categorical labels, limiting their ability to detect structured articulatory errors common in speech disorders and accents. In this work, we introduce a linguistically structured approach to non-canonical phoneme recognition that decomposes phoneme prediction into articulatory feature dimensions such as manner, place, and voicing. We implement this formul...
