Robust Dysarthric Speech Recognition with GAN Enhancement and LLM Correction

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study tackles dysarthric speech recognition by combining generative adversarial network (GAN)‐generated synthetic data with large language model (LLM)‐based error correction. The approach integrates three key elements: an improved CycleGAN to generate synthetic dysarthric speech for data augmentation, a multimodal automatic speech recognition core
