What Actually Makes Correlation-Based SSL Distillation Noise-Robust? A Mechanistic Correction
Fabian Ritter-Gutierrez, Nancy F. Chen, Eng Siong Chng
Self-supervised learning (SSL) speech models are accurate but large. Knowledge distillation compresses them, but the student loses the teacher's noise robustness. Correlation-based…
ParaCalib: Semantically Calibrated Paralinguistic Modeling for Depression Detection
Yuxin Li, Yifei Li, Yi-Wen Chao +3
Vocal behavior provides important signals for speech-based depression detection, but its interpretation often depends on what is being said and how it functions in context. However…
CharDuplex: Building Character-Consistent Full-Duplex Spoken Dialogue Models
Donghang Wu, Yisi Liu, Chen Chen +2
Full-duplex speech models are moving voice interaction beyond conventional turn-taking, yet natural conversation is shaped not only by when an agent speaks, but also by how it beha…
Beyond Textual Chain-of-Thought: JEPA-Conditioned Latent Reasoning for Large Audio Language Models
Donghang Wu, Haoyang Zhang, Yizhou Peng +6
Explicit textual Chain-of-Thought (CoT) has improved the reasoning ability of large audio language models (LALMs). However, textual CoTs are often constructed from text captions of…
DGS-MLDG: Domain Gradient Surgery Guided Meta-Learning for Domain Generalization in Speech Deepfake Detection
Siqing Qin, Kong Aik Lee, Youzhi Tu +2
Speech deepfake detection faces significant challenges due to domain shifts. Domain generalization (DG), particularly meta-learning for domain generalization (MLDG), offers a promi…
The Second MLC-SLM Challenge: Multilingual Conversational Speech Diarization, Recognition, and Understanding
Bingshen Mu, Mingchen Shao, Zhennan Lin +7
This paper summarizes the Interspeech2026 second Multilingual Conversational Speech Language Model (MLC-SLM) Challenge, which aims to advance the development of effective multiling…
