Abstract:Speech is critical for interpersonal communication, but not everyone has fluent communication skills. Speech disfluency, including stuttering and interruptions, affects not only emotional expression but also clarity of expression for people who stutter. Existing methods for detecting speech disfluency rely heavily on annotated data, which can be costly.

4.1. DatasetTo validate the proposed method for spontaneous speech fluency assessment, we use the self-built PSCPSF dataset. Additionally, to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method in other scenarios, such as read-aloud tasks, we conduct similar experiments using the publicly available Speechocean762 dataset. These experiments highlight the versatility of our proposed method for application in different assessment scenarios.
