SpeechGym: An Audio-Native Gym for Training Voice Agents via Reinforcement Learning
Jiajun Fan, Jingyuan Li, Prashanth Gurunath Shivakumar +6
Voice agents must call tools and hold multi-turn dialogue entirely through speech, yet the dominant paradigm trains them in text. Existing frameworks either cascade TTS and ASR aro…
Can We Read the Mind of an Audio LLM? A Verbalizable, Multilingual Middle-Layer Workspace
Jiajun Fan, Jingyuan Li, Prashanth Gurunath Shivakumar +8
An audio language model is a black box in a specific way: we see what it says, never what it works out on the way there, and chain-of-thought monitoring helps only if the model wri…
Incentivizing Consistent, Effective and Scalable Reasoning Capability in Audio LLMs via Reasoning Process Rewards
Jiajun Fan, Roger Ren, Jingyuan Li +6
The role of reasoning in Audio Large Language Models remains widely underexplored, as introducing a reasoning process often degrades rather than improves performance during inferen…
Investigating Training Strategies and Model Robustness of Low-Rank Adaptation for Language Modeling in Speech Recognition
Yu Yu, Chao-Han Huck Yang, Tuan Dinh +10
The use of low-rank adaptation (LoRA) with frozen pretrained language models (PLMs) has become increasing popular as a mainstream, resource-efficient modeling approach for memory-c…
Low-rank Adaptation of Large Language Model Rescoring for Parameter-Efficient Speech Recognition
Yu Yu, Chao-Han Huck Yang, Jari Kolehmainen +15
We propose a neural language modeling system based on low-rank adaptation (LoRA) for speech recognition output rescoring. Although pretrained language models (LMs) like BERT have s…
PROCTER: PROnunciation-aware ConTextual adaptER for personalized speech recognition in neural transducers
Rahul Pandey, Roger Ren, Qi Luo +7
End-to-End (E2E) automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems used in voice assistants often have difficulties recognizing infrequent words personalized to the user, such as names an…
Mitigating Closed-model Adversarial Examples with Bayesian Neural Modeling for Enhanced End-to-End Speech Recognition
Chao-Han Huck Yang, Zeeshan Ahmed, Yile Gu +5
In this work, we aim to enhance the system robustness of end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) against adversarially-noisy speech examples. We focus on a rigorous and empir…
