PWESuite: Phonetic Word Embeddings and Tasks They Facilitate [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Mapping words into a fixed-dimensional vector space is the backbone of modern NLP. While most word embedding methods successfully encode semantic information, they overlook phonetic information that is crucial for many tasks. We develop three methods that use articulatory features to build phonetically informed word embeddings.

Language-universal phonetic encoder for low-resource speech recognition [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Multilingual training is effective in improving low-resource ASR, which may partially be explained by phonetic representation sharing between languages. In end-to-end (E2E) ASR systems, graphemes are often used as basic modeling units, however graphemes may not be ideal for multilingual phonetic sharing.
