VoiceChat-TTS: A Low-Latency Continuous Speech Synthesis Model for Interactive Agents

Edresson Casanova, Jaehyeon Kim, Mariana Graterol Fuenmayor +17

Spoken dialogue is a natural form of human--computer interaction, yet most speech language models remain limited to turn-based operation and lack real-time adaptability, such as us…

Decoupling Conversational Dynamics in Full-Duplex Spoken Models through Reinforcement Learning

Yuxin Li, Donghang Wu, Guan-Ting Lin +4

Recent full-duplex spoken dialogue models have demonstrated compelling progress toward human-like interaction, enabling agents to respond with low latency, produce backchannels, an…

Full-Duplex-Bench-v3: Benchmarking Tool Use for Full-Duplex Voice Agents Under Real-World Disfluency

Guan-Ting Lin, Chen Chen, Zhehuai Chen +1

We introduce Full-Duplex-Bench-v3 (FDB-v3), a benchmark for evaluating spoken language models under naturalistic speech conditions and multi-step tool use. Unlike prior work, our d…

How Auditory Knowledge in LLM Backbones Shapes Audio Language Models: A Holistic Evaluation

Ke-Han Lu, Szu-Wei Fu, Chao-Han Huck Yang +13

Large language models (LLMs) have been widely used as knowledge backbones of Large Audio Language Models (LALMs), yet how much auditory knowledge they encode through text-only pre-…

Towards General Auditory Intelligence: Large Multimodal Models for Machine Listening and Speaking

Siyin Wang, Zengrui Jin, Changli Tang +26

In the era of large language models (LLMs) and artificial general intelligence (AGI), computer audition must evolve beyond traditional paradigms to fully leverage the capabilities…

Discrete Diffusion for Generative Modeling of Text-Aligned Speech Tokens

Pin-Jui Ku, He Huang, Jean-Marie Lemercier +3

This paper introduces a discrete diffusion model (DDM) framework for text-aligned speech tokenization and reconstruction. By replacing the auto-regressive speech decoder with a dis…

DeSTA2.5-Audio: Toward General-Purpose Large Audio Language Model with Self-Generated Cross-Modal Alignment

Ke-Han Lu, Zhehuai Chen, Szu-Wei Fu +25

We introduce DeSTA2.5-Audio, a general-purpose Large Audio Language Model (LALM) designed for robust auditory perception and instruction-following. Recent LALMs augment Large Langu…

DeSTA2: Developing Instruction-Following Speech Language Model Without Speech Instruction-Tuning Data

Ke-Han Lu, Zhehuai Chen, Szu-Wei Fu +5

Recent end-to-end speech language models (SLMs) have expanded upon the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) by incorporating pre-trained speech models. However, these SLMs…

DeSTA: Enhancing Speech Language Models through Descriptive Speech-Text Alignment

Ke-Han Lu, Zhehuai Chen, Szu-Wei Fu +4

Recent speech language models (SLMs) typically incorporate pre-trained speech models to extend the capabilities from large language models (LLMs). In this paper, we propose a Descr…

Instruction Data Generation and Unsupervised Adaptation for Speech Language Models

Vahid Noroozi, Zhehuai Chen, Somshubra Majumdar +3

In this paper, we propose three methods for generating synthetic samples to train and evaluate multimodal large language models capable of processing both text and speech inputs. A…
