SeniorTalk: A Chinese Conversation Dataset with Rich Annotations for Super-Aged Seniors
Yang Chen, Hui Wang, Shiyao Wang +7
While voice technologies increasingly serve aging populations, current systems exhibit significant performance gaps due to inadequate training data capturing elderly-specific vocal…
DIFFA: Large Language Diffusion Models Can Listen and Understand
Jiaming Zhou, Hongjie Chen, Shiwan Zhao +9
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities across textual and multimodal domains. In parallel, diffusion-based language models have emerged…
Zero- and One-Shot Data Augmentation for Sentence-Level Dysarthric Speech Recognition in Constrained Scenarios
Shiyao Wang, Shiwan Zhao, Jiaming Zhou +1
Dysarthric speech recognition (DSR) research has witnessed remarkable progress in recent years, evolving from the basic understanding of individual words to the intricate comprehen…
WildElder: A Chinese Elderly Speech Dataset from the Wild with Fine-Grained Manual Annotations
Hui Wang, Jiaming Zhou, Jiabei He +2
Elderly speech poses unique challenges for automatic processing due to age-related changes such as slower articulation and vocal tremors. Existing Chinese datasets are mostly recor…
MECap-R1: Emotion-aware Policy with Reinforcement Learning for Multimodal Emotion Captioning
Haoqin Sun, Chenyang Lyu, Xiangyu Kong +9
Speech Emotion Captioning (SEC) has emerged as a notable research direction. The inherent complexity of emotional content in human speech makes it challenging for traditional discr…
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…
