When Text Misleads: Inconsistent-Aware Reasoning for Audio-Grounded Dialogue

Yen-Ju Lu, Yuzhe Wang, Yaohan Guan +8

Understanding spoken dialogue requires joint reasoning over lexical content and paralinguistic acoustic signals such as emotion and conversational intent. However, existing evaluat…

StanceBench: A Benchmark for Audio LLM-Based Interpersonal Stance Evaluation from Speech

Yuzhe Wang, Thomas Thebaud, Jennifer Hu +5

Speech-to-speech dialogue models increasingly depend on prosody and interactional nuance to convey social intent, yet benchmarks for these cues remain limited. We introduce StanceB…

Beyond Transcripts: Iterative Peer-Editing with Audio Unlocks High-Quality Human Summaries of Conversational Speech

Kaavya Chaparala, Thomas Thebaud, Jesús Villalba López +3

There are not enough established benchmarks for the task fo speech summarization. Creating new benchmarks demands human annotation, as LLMs could embed systemic errors and bias int…

Layer-Aware Early Fusion of Acoustic and Linguistic Embeddings for Cognitive Status Classification

Krystof Novotny, Laureano Moro-Velázquez, Jiri Mekyska

Speech contains both acoustic and linguistic patterns that reflect cognitive decline, and therefore models describing only one domain cannot fully capture such complexity. This stu…

Self-FiLM: Conditioning GANs with self-supervised representations for bandwidth extension based speaker recognition

Saurabh Kataria, Jesús Villalba, Laureano Moro-Velázquez +2

Speech super-resolution/Bandwidth Extension (BWE) can improve downstream tasks like Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV). We introduce a simple novel technique called Self-FiLM to…

Time-domain speech super-resolution with GAN based modeling for telephony speaker verification

Saurabh Kataria, Jesús Villalba, Laureano Moro-Velázquez +2

Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) technology has become commonplace in virtual assistants. However, its performance suffers when there is a mismatch between the train and test d…

Joint domain adaptation and speech bandwidth extension using time-domain GANs for speaker verification

Saurabh Kataria, Jesús Villalba, Laureano Moro-Velázquez +1

Speech systems developed for a particular choice of acoustic domain and sampling frequency do not translate easily to others. The usual practice is to learn domain adaptation and b…

Deep Feature CycleGANs: Speaker Identity Preserving Non-parallel Microphone-Telephone Domain Adaptation for Speaker Verification

Saurabh Kataria, Jesús Villalba, Piotr Żelasko +2

With the increase in the availability of speech from varied domains, it is imperative to use such out-of-domain data to improve existing speech systems. Domain adaptation is a prom…

Unsupervised Acoustic Unit Discovery by Leveraging a Language-Independent Subword Discriminative Feature Representation

Siyuan Feng, Piotr Żelasko, Laureano Moro-Velázquez +1

This paper tackles automatically discovering phone-like acoustic units (AUD) from unlabeled speech data. Past studies usually proposed single-step approaches. We propose a two-stag…

How Phonotactics Affect Multilingual and Zero-shot ASR Performance

Siyuan Feng, Piotr Żelasko, Laureano Moro-Velázquez +4

The idea of combining multiple languages' recordings to train a single automatic speech recognition (ASR) model brings the promise of the emergence of universal speech representati…

That Sounds Familiar: an Analysis of Phonetic Representations Transfer Across Languages

Piotr Żelasko, Laureano Moro-Velázquez, Mark Hasegawa-Johnson +2

Only a handful of the world's languages are abundant with the resources that enable practical applications of speech processing technologies. One of the methods to overcome this pr…
