Controllable Dysarthric Speech Synthesis for Speaker-Diverse ASR Training

Researchers propose a speech synthesis method that separates speaker identity from dysarthric articulation patterns, allowing finer control over generated dysarthric speech. The approach conditions synthesis on individual patients, producing varied synthetic speakers to supplement scarce training data for dysarthric speech recognition. This addresses a field bottlenecked by high speaker variability and limited labeled recordings.

Multi-Agent System Aims to Make Virtual Worlds Usable for Blind Users

A new arXiv paper proposes a multi-agent orchestration approach that goes beyond simple scene description to help blind and visually impaired users navigate virtual worlds. Current virtual environments—used for classrooms, meetings, shops and social spaces—generally assume users can visually scan 3D scenes, track avatars and read floating interface panels. The work targets that accessibility gap by coordinating multiple agents to convey spatial and social context non-visually.

arXiv paper examines generative AI as communication aid for blind and low-vision users

A new arXiv preprint studies how blind and low-vision people use generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Be My AI as intermediaries in everyday communication. The work argues that the focus should move beyond mere access to how these systems shape interactions with information, the physical world, and other people. It appears in the cs.AI cross-listing.

RevalExo: A Benchmark for Locomotion Mode Recognition in Older Adults and Clinical Cohorts

Researchers have introduced RevalExo, a public benchmark for evaluating systems that recognize locomotion modes from inertial sensor and camera data recorded during daily activities, with a focus on older adults and clinical populations. Reliable movement classification is essential for assistive devices such as powered exoskeletons, which need to adjust their control strategies based on a user's activity. A revised version of the paper is available on arXiv.
