Do Implicit Personalization and Explicit Styles Conflict? PsPLUG: A Lightweight Plug-in for Balancing Personalization and Style in Customized LLMs
Yutong Song, Jiang Wu, Shaofan Yuan +5
Personalized large language models are often expected to follow explicit style instructions, yet we find that such instructions can undermine the user-specific characteristics that…
From Sounds to Scenes: A Benchmark for Evaluating Context-Aware Auditory Scene Understanding in Large Audio Language Models
Pengfei Zhang, Hoang H Nguyen, Kazi Shaharair Sharif +6
Recent Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) have achieved remarkable progress in audio perceptual tasks across individual acoustic layers, including speech, sound, and music. Howeve…
AP-GRPO: Anchor-Gated Phonetic Alignment with Policy Optimization for Pathological Speech Reconstruction
Pengfei Zhang, Hoang H Nguyen, Yutong Song +6
Pathological speech from patients with neurodegenerative and neuromotor disorders is often acoustically distorted and linguistically fragmented, making pathological speech reconstr…
Can the Environment Speak for Itself? -GRPO: A Turn-Trajectory Group Relative Policy Optimization for Caregiver Agents
Yutong Song, Jiang Wu, Pengfei Zhang +4
Optimizing large language models (LLMs) for long-horizon caregiver agents requires balancing delayed task objectives with immediate environment dynamics, such as patient distress a…
MedSpeak: A Knowledge Graph-Aided ASR Error Correction Framework for Spoken Medical QA
Yutong Song, Shiva Shrestha, Chenhan Lyu +5
Spoken question-answering (SQA) systems relying on automatic speech recognition (ASR) often struggle with accurately recognizing medical terminology. To this end, we propose MedSpe…
CARD: Cluster-level Adaptation with Reward-guided Decoding for Personalized Text Generation
Yutong Song, Jiang Wu, Weijia Zhang +7
Adapting large language models to individual users remains challenging due to the tension between fine-grained personalization and scalable deployment. We present CARD, a hierarchi…
