HuPER: A Human-Inspired Framework for Phonetic Perception
Quick summary
arXiv:2602.01634v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose HuPER, a human-inspired framework that models phonetic perception as adaptive inference over acoustic-phonetics evidence and linguistic knowledge. With only 100 hours of training data, HuPER achieves state-of-the-art phonetic error rates on five English benchmarks and strong zero-shot transfer to 95 unseen languages. HuPER is also the first framework to enable adaptive, multi-path phonetic perception under diverse acoustic conditions. All training data, models, and code are open-sourced. Code and demo avaliable at https://git
