SpeakerCard-1M: An Evidence-Grounded Corpus for In-the-Wild Speaker Verification
Junyi Peng, OldÅich Plchot, Xiao Song +9
Modern speaker verification (SV) systems rely on speaker embeddings that are effective but difficult to interpret or query in natural language. Most existing speech-text corpora ta…
Reducing Linguistic Hallucination in LM-Based Speech Enhancement via Noise-Invariant Acoustic-Semantic Distillation
Zheng Wang, Xiaobin Rong, Hang Su +6
Language model (LM)-based speech enhancement (SE) can generate natural-sounding speech, but under severe noise it often suffers from unreliable conditioning, leading to perceptuall…
Listening with Time: Precise Temporal Awareness for Long-Form Audio Understanding
Mingchen Shao, Hang Su, Wenjie Tian +6
While Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) achieve strong performance on short audio, they degrade on long-form inputs. This degradation is more severe in temporal awareness tasks,…
Borderless Long Speech Synthesis
Xingchen Song, Di Wu, Dinghao Zhou +12
Most existing text-to-speech (TTS) systems either synthesize speech sentence by sentence and stitch the results together, or drive synthesis from plain-text dialogues alone. Both a…
Thinking in cocktail party: Chain-of-Thought and reinforcement learning for target speaker automatic speech recognition
Yiru Zhang, Hang Su, Lichun Fan +2
Target Speaker Automatic Speech Recognition (TS-ASR) aims to transcribe the speech of a specified target speaker from multi-speaker mixtures in cocktail party scenarios. Recent adv…
Omni-CLST: Error-aware Curriculum Learning with guided Selective chain-of-Thought for audio question answering
Jinghua Zhao, Hang Su, Lichun Fan +4
With the rapid progress of large audio-language models (LALMs), audio question answering (AQA) has emerged as a challenging task requiring both fine-grained audio understanding and…
