Cross-lifespan evaluation shows adult-trained speech foundation models degrade on child and older-adult data, with joint multi-age training and targeted adaptation improving robustness especially using Whisper encoder.
Our results show that models trained only on adult speech perform poorly on child and older-adult data, confirming a significant age-related do- main shift

Exploring Speech Foundation Models for Speaker Diarization Across Lifespan
Cross-lifespan evaluation shows adult-trained speech foundation models degrade on child and older-adult data, with joint multi-age training and targeted adaptation improving robustness especially using Whisper encoder.
