Bagpiper-TTS: Natural Language Guided Universal Speech Synthesis
Jinchuan Tian, Haoran Wang, Siddhant Arora +6
Classical TTS systems typically rely on rigid input formats and predefined metadata slots, limiting their ability to fulfill flexible user requirements. This paper introduces Bagpi…
Bagpiper: Solving Open-Ended Audio Tasks via Rich Captions
Jinchuan Tian, Haoran Wang, Bo-Hao Su +14
Current audio foundation models typically rely on rigid, task-specific supervision (e.g., speech recognition), addressing isolated factors of audio rather than the whole. In contra…
Evaluating Large Language Models Abilities for Addressee, Turn-change, and Next Speaker Prediction in Meetings
Ryo Fukuda, Takatomo Kano, Siddhant Arora +7
We investigate turn-taking in multimodal multi-party conversations using large language models (LLMs). We construct an evaluation framework for three tasks: addressee detection, tu…
On The Landscape of Spoken Language Models: A Comprehensive Survey
Siddhant Arora, Kai-Wei Chang, Chung-Ming Chien +7
The field of spoken language processing is undergoing a shift from training custom-built, task-specific models toward using and optimizing spoken language models (SLMs) which act a…
Optimizing Conversational Quality in Spoken Dialogue Systems with Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback
Siddhant Arora, Jinchuan Tian, Jiatong Shi +4
Reinforcement learning from human or AI feedback (RLHF/RLAIF) for speech-in/speech-out dialogue systems (SDS) remains underexplored, with prior work largely limited to single seman…
Chain-of-Thought Reasoning in Streaming Full-Duplex End-to-End Spoken Dialogue Systems
Siddhant Arora, Jinchuan Tian, Hayato Futami +4
Most end-to-end (E2E) spoken dialogue systems (SDS) rely on voice activity detection (VAD) for turn-taking, but VAD fails to distinguish between pauses and turn completions. Duplex…
