Step-Audio-R1 Technical Report
Fei Tian, Xiangyu Tony Zhang, Yuxin Zhang +14
Recent advances in reasoning models have demonstrated remarkable success in text and vision domains through extended chain-of-thought deliberation. However, a perplexing phenomenon…
MULTI-Bench: A Multi-Turn Interactive Benchmark for Assessing Emotional Intelligence ability of Spoken Dialogue Models
Yayue Deng, Guoqiang Hu, Haiyang Sun +6
Spoken Dialogue Models (SDMs) have advanced rapidly, yet their ability to sustain genuinely interactive multi-turn conversations remains underexplored, as most benchmarks focus on…
Explainable Disentanglement on Discrete Speech Representations for Noise-Robust ASR
Shreyas Gopal, Ashutosh Anshul, Haoyang Li +3
Discrete audio representations are gaining traction in speech modeling due to their interpretability and compatibility with large language models, but are not always optimized for…
Cross-modal Consistency Guidance for Robust Emotion Control in Auto-Regressive TTS Models
Yizhou Peng, Yukun Ma, Chong Zhang +4
While Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems enable emotional control via natural-language instructions, expressiveness, naturalness, and speech quality degrade when the target emotion confl…
Mind-Paced Speaking: A Dual-Brain Approach to Real-Time Reasoning in Spoken Language Models
Donghang Wu, Haoyang Zhang, Jun Chen +9
Real-time Spoken Language Models (SLMs) struggle to leverage Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning due to the prohibitive latency of generating the entire thought process sequentially.…
Word-Level Emotional Expression Control in Zero-Shot Text-to-Speech Synthesis
Tianrui Wang, Haoyu Wang, Meng Ge +10
While emotional text-to-speech (TTS) has made significant progress, most existing research remains limited to utterance-level emotional expression and fails to support word-level c…
