Abstract (arXiv)

Data augmentations are known to improve robustness in speech-processing tasks. In this study, we summarize and compare different data augmentation strategies using S3PRL toolkit. We explore how HuBERT and wav2vec perform using different augmentation techniques (SpecAugment, Gaussian Noise, Speed Perturbation) for Phoneme Recognition (PR) and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) tasks. We evaluate model performance in terms of phoneme error rate (PER) and word error rate (WER). From the experiments, we observed that SpecAugment slightly improves the performance of HuBERT and wav2vec on the original dataset. Also, we show that models trained using the Gaussian Noise and Speed Perturbation dataset are more robust when tested with augmented test sets.
