审视语音技术中性别研究的局限与误区，呼吁更严谨的术语使用。
Beyond the binary: Limitations and possibilities of gender-related speech technology research
- 分析107篇语音论文，指出性别研究严重不足
- 批评'gender'术语使用模糊，违背社会建构观点
- 提醒研究者反思术语对边缘群体的影响
本文回顾了2013至2023年间ISCA Interspeech会议中107篇涉及语音与性别/性别的论文。研究发现该领域工作稀少，且术语使用普遍不明确，尤其'gender'一词常被当作二元分类，与社会科学主流观点相悖——即性别是社会建构的、连续谱而非非黑即白的二分。这种简化可能对边缘群体造成潜在伤害。文章呼吁研究者在开展相关工作时，应自省术语选择及其社会影响。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This paper presents a review of 107 research papers relating to speech and sex or gender in ISCA Interspeech publications between 2013 and 2023. We note the scarcity of work on this topic and find that terminology, particularly the word gender, is used in ways that are underspecified and often out of step with the prevailing view in social sciences that gender is socially constructed and is a spectrum as opposed to a binary category. We draw attention to the potential problems that this can cause for already marginalised groups, and suggest some questions for researchers to ask themselves when undertaking work on speech and gender.
