GigaSpeechBench: A Real-World Multilingual Speech-to-Text Benchmark
Yujie Tu, Yifan Yang, Tianrui Wang +36
While modern ASR systems achieve low error rates on high-resource benchmarks, such performance often overestimates real-world robustness. Existing evaluations address challenges in…
X-VC: Zero-shot Streaming Voice Conversion in Codec Space
Qixi Zheng, Yuxiang Zhao, Tianrui Wang +7
Zero-shot voice conversion (VC) aims to convert a source utterance into the voice of an unseen target speaker while preserving its linguistic content. Although recent systems have…
Interactive ASR: Towards Human-Like Interaction and Semantic Coherence Evaluation for Agentic Speech Recognition
Peng Wang, Yanqiao Zhu, Zixuan Jiang +8
Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress in automatic speech recognition (ASR), driven by advances in model architectures and large-scale training data. However, two importa…
The Past Is Not Past: Memory-Enhanced Dynamic Reward Shaping
Yang Liu, Enxi Wang, Yufei Gao +6
Despite the success of reinforcement learning for large language models, a common failure mode is reduced sampling diversity, where the policy repeatedly generates similar erroneou…
Tracing the Thought of a Grandmaster-level Chess-Playing Transformer
Rui Lin, Zhenyu Jin, Guancheng Zhou +7
While modern transformer neural networks achieve grandmaster-level performance in chess and other reasoning tasks, their internal computation process remains largely opaque. Focusi…
X-Talk: On the Underestimated Potential of Modular Speech-to-Speech Dialogue System
Zhanxun Liu, Yifan Duan, Mengmeng Wang +15
We present X-Talk, an open-source framework that champions a decoupled, modular design for LLM-driven speech-to-speech (S2S) systems. While the dominant trend favors end-to-end (E2…
