Abstract
This study investigates the adaptation of Automatic Speech Recognition systems for children while retaining adult performance.
Reality Card
Core Claim
Child ASR adaptation is essential for improving recognition quality in non-native Arabic and English child speech, but direct adaptation can negatively impact adult ASR performance.
Method / Result
Weight-space merging improves the adaptation-retention trade-off, particularly for encoder-CTC and AudioLLM-based ASR systems.
Limitations
The study may face challenges in generalizing results across different languages and speech contexts.
