Multimodal Unlearning Across Vision, Language, Video, and Audio: Survey of Methods, Datasets, and Benchmarks
Nobin Sarwar, Shubhashis Roy Dipta, Zheyuan Liu +1
With the growing adoption of VLMs, DMs, LLMs, and AFMs, these multimodal foundation models can inadvertently encode sensitive, copyrighted, biased, or unsafe cross-modal associatio…
Is Text All You Need? Text as a Universal Information Bottleneck for Speech LLMs
Ming-Hao Hsu, Yuxuan Hu, Shujie Liu +3
Large language models (LLMs) provide a powerful reasoning backbone for speech understanding, but integrating continuous acoustic signals into a frozen LLM remains challenging. Exis…
Position: Towards Responsible Evaluation for Text-to-Speech
Yifan Yang, Hui Wang, Bing Han +4
Recent advances in text-to-speech (TTS) technology have enabled systems to generate speech that is often indistinguishable from human speech, bringing benefits to accessibility, co…
Closing the Modality Reasoning Gap for Speech Large Language Models
Chaoren Wang, Heng Lu, Xueyao Zhang +4
Although Speech Large Language Models have achieved notable progress, a substantial modality reasoning gap remains: their reasoning performance on speech inputs is markedly weaker…
SpeechLLM-as-Judges: Towards General and Interpretable Speech Quality Evaluation
Hui Wang, Jinghua Zhao, Yifan Yang +9
Generative speech technologies are progressing rapidly, but evaluating the perceptual quality of synthetic speech remains a core challenge. Existing methods typically rely on scala…
FELLE: Autoregressive Speech Synthesis with Token-Wise Coarse-to-Fine Flow Matching
Hui Wang, Shujie Liu, Lingwei Meng +9
To advance continuous-valued token modeling and temporal-coherence enforcement, we propose FELLE, an autoregressive model that integrates language modeling with token-wise flow mat…
