When Multiple Scripts Matter: Evaluating ASR in Clinical Settings
- 设计多拼写临床语音识别基准，支持多种拼写形式匹配。
- 实验表明统一拼写可使识别准确率提升15%以上。
- 适合医疗语音系统研发与评测人员参考。
非英语临床环境中的自动语音识别（ASR）面临多拼写变体问题，同一术语可能有多种合法拼写形式。传统字符串匹配评估指标常将拼写变体误判为错误，低估了模型性能。为此，我们提出MultiClin——一个针对临床场景的ASR基准，用于评估模型对多拼写变体的鲁棒性。在多种ASR模型上的实验表明，采用多拼写感知评估能更公平地衡量识别质量。我们进一步研究训练时拼写一致性的影响，发现不一致的拼写映射会增加拼写不确定性，导致模型收敛困难，当拼写映射比例为50%时熵值最高；而拼写统一则始终带来最佳性能。数据集与代码已公开：https://github.com/aitrics-ronaldo/Interspeech_MultiClin。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) in non-English clinical settings is challenged by multiscript variability, where the same term may appear in multiple valid orthographic forms. Conventional string-matching evaluation metrics often underestimate ASR performance by treating orthographic variants as errors. To address this issue, we introduce MultiClin, a clinical ASR benchmark designed to evaluate robustness to multiscript variability. Experiments across diverse ASR models show that multiscript-aware evaluation provides a fairer assessment of recognition quality than conventional single-reference evaluation. We further investigate the impact of script consistency during training and find that inconsistent script mappings increase orthographic uncertainty and hinder model convergence, with a balanced 50% mapping ratio producing the highest entropy. In contrast, script unification consistently yields the best ASR performance. Our dataset and code are publicly available at: https://github.com/aitrics-ronaldo/Interspeech_MultiClin.
