自动语音识别(ASR)是现代科技的核心组件,广泛应用于语音助手、转录服务和无障碍工具中。然而,人类语音的多样性(如口音、语调、方言)以及环境噪声等问题仍导致识别误差,领域专用术语更会加剧错误传播。由于重新设计模型成本高、耗时长,非侵入式优化技术因无需改变模型架构而备受青睐。本文综述了当前主流的非侵入式修正方法,并将其分为五类:融合、重打分、纠错、知识蒸馏与训练调整。针对每类方法,分析其核心机制、优缺点及适用场景。此外,还梳理了领域适配技术、常用评估数据集及其构建方式,并提出标准化评价指标以促进公平比较。最后,指出关键研究空白并展望未来方向。本综述旨在为研究人员和实践者提供清晰的框架,推动更鲁棒、精准的ASR优化流程发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is an integral component of modern technology, powering applications such as voice-activated assistants, transcription services, and accessibility tools. Yet ASR systems continue to struggle with the inherent variability of human speech, such as accents, dialects, and speaking styles, as well as environmental interference, including background noise. Moreover, domain-specific conversations often employ specialized terminology, which can exacerbate transcription errors. These shortcomings not only degrade raw ASR accuracy but also propagate mistakes through subsequent natural language processing pipelines. Because redesigning an ASR model is costly and time-consuming, non-intrusive refinement techniques that leave the model's architecture intact have become increasingly popular. In this survey, we review current non-intrusive refinement approaches and group them into five classes: fusion, re-scoring, correction, distillation, and training adjustment. For each class, we outline the main methods, advantages, drawbacks, and ideal application scenarios. Beyond method classification, this work surveys adaptation techniques aimed at refining ASR in domain-specific contexts, reviews commonly used evaluation datasets along with their construction processes, and proposes a standardized set of metrics to facilitate fair comparisons. Finally, we identify open research gaps and suggest promising directions for future work. By providing this structured overview, we aim to equip researchers and practitioners with a clear foundation for developing more robust, accurate ASR refinement pipelines.
