Encoder-Free Multimodal LLMs Learn Implicit Encoders
David Harwath, Desh Raj, Xavier Velez +5
We empirically analyze two recently proposed encoder-free multimodal LLMs, Gemma-4 12B and Inkling-Small. Unlike previous multimodal LLMs, these models do not use modality-specific…
ASSET: Adaptive Speech Segmentation via Reinforcement Learning
Cihan Xiao, Yuan Tseng, Matthew Wiesner +4
Speech large language models (LLMs) are often built using pretrained acoustic encoders as an audio interface to an LLM decoder. However, LLMs scale poorly with input sequence lengt…
Preference-ASR: A Preference-Aware Test Set for Benchmarking ASR in the Era of Speech LLMs
Nithin Rao Koluguri, Sasha Meister, Nikolay Karpov +4
Popular ASR test sets adopt inconsistent conventions for numbers, disfluencies, entities, and casing, while standard normalizers erase the format distinctions users care about. Cur…
