Rethinking Speech-LLM Integration for ASR: Effective Joint Speech-Text Training by Interleaving
Ruchao Fan, Yiming Wang, Rui Zhao +10
Speech-LLM integration has shown promising results by leveraging extensive textual pretraining, yet its specific benefits for automatic speech recognition (ASR) remain unclear. We…
Preserving Speech-to-Text LLM Capabilities in Speech-to-Speech Generation
Yuxuan Hu, Heng Lu, Ruchao Fan +8
Strong speech-to-text (S2T) LLMs already provide robust speech perception and text reasoning, but adding speech-to-speech (S2S) output is challenging: fine-tuning the backbone can…
Latent Recurrent Transformer: Architecture Exploration, Training Strategies, and Scaling Behavior
Zeyi Huang, Xuehai He, LiLiang Ren +8
We study Latent Recurrent Transformer (LRT), a lightweight augmentation of autoregressive transformers that reuses a high-level source-layer hidden state from the previous token as…
ThetaEvolve: Test-time Learning on Open Problems
Yiping Wang, Shao-Rong Su, Zhiyuan Zeng +13
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled breakthroughs in mathematical discovery, exemplified by AlphaEvolve, a closed-source system that evolves programs to im…
SAS: Simulated Attention Score
Chuanyang Zheng, Jiankai Sun, Yihang Gao +12
The attention mechanism is a core component of the Transformer architecture. Various methods have been developed to compute attention scores, including multi-head attention (MHA),…
Decoder-Hybrid-Decoder Architecture for Efficient Reasoning with Long Generation
Liliang Ren, Congcong Chen, Haoran Xu +11
Recent advances in language modeling have demonstrated the effectiveness of State Space Models (SSMs) for efficient sequence modeling. While hybrid architectures such as Samba and…
