Today's Interspeech paper is of a different nature and is a result of collaboration with the English Studies Department at RWTH Aachen University. It focuses on the linguistic complexities present in non-native spontaneous speech, which is a frequent problem encountered in speech recognition applications, given that so much of today’s English audio content is produced by non-native speakers. The significance of this contribution also lies in the fact that there is a lack of publicly available databases and benchmark datasets for spontaneously produced non-native speech, as well as the considerable inter-individual variability of such speech.
