Variational Low-Rank Adaptation for Personalized Impaired Speech Recognition

ArXi:2509.20397v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Speech impairments resulting from congenital disorders, such as cerebral palsy, down syndrome, or apert syndrome, as well as acquired brain injuries due to stroke, traumatic accidents, or tumors, present major challenges to automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. Despite recent advancements, state-of-the-art ASR models like Whisper still struggle with non-normative speech due to limited
