Computer Science sophomores publish speech research at premier IEEE conference

A research paper titled “LLM-based post-ASR error correction for disordered speech” has been accepted by the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP). Co-authored by Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar sophomores Hangyi Wen, Mikiyas Assefa, and Anas Semsayan, the study utilizes Large Language Models to improve speech recognition accuracy. Eduardo Feo Flushing, assistant teaching professor of computer science, is the faculty advisor.

The project originated in the Summer Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship (SURA) program during the students’ first year. Acceptance to ICASSP, the world’s premier signal processing venue, marks a significant technical achievement for early-stage undergraduate researchers.

The computer science students will present the paper at the ICASSP in Barcelona, Spain, in May.
