contents Dysarthric speech recognition faces challenges from severity variations and disparities relative to normal speech. Conventional approaches individually fine-tune ASR models pre-trained on normal speech per patient to prevent feature conflicts. Counter-intuitively, experiments reveal that multi-speaker fine-tuning (simultaneously on multiple dysarthric speakers) improves recognition of individual speech patterns. This strategy enhances generalization via broader pathological feature learning, mitigates speaker-specific overfitting, reduces per-patient data dependence, and improves target-speaker accuracy - achieving up to 13.15% lower WER versus single-speaker fine-tuning.
