Task-Specific Self-Supervised Pre-Training for Low-Resource ASR Accuracy Improvement

Clustering is the unsupervised classification of patterns (observations, data items, or feature vectors) into groups (clusters). The clustering problem has been addressed in many contexts and by researchers in many disciplines; this reflects its broad appeal and usefulness as one of the steps in exploratory data analysis. However, clustering is a difficult problem combinatorially, and differences in assumptions and contexts in different communities has made the transfer of useful generic concepts and methodologies slow to occur. This paper presents an overview of pattern clustering methods fro

Research goal: To what extent does task-specific self-supervised pre-training improve low-resource ASR accuracy compared to task-agnostic models on standard speech benchmarks?
