DuplexSLA: A Full-Duplex Spoken Language Model with Synchronized Speech, Language, and Action
Haoyang Zhang, Jun Chen, Donghang Wu +13
Recent advances in spoken dialogue language models have shifted from turn-based to full-duplex designs, where the model continuously listens to the user while generating responses.…
Step-Audio-R1.5 Technical Report
Yuxin Zhang, Xiangyu Tony Zhang, Daijiao Liu +16
Recent advancements in large audio language models have extended Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning into the auditory domain, enabling models to tackle increasingly complex acoustic…
The WER Trap: Shattering the Illusion of Unified Tokens in Speech Language Models
Xiangyu Zhang, Yuxin Li, Haoyang Zhang +5
The pursuit of a "unified" discrete token for both speech understanding and generation has led the Speech Language Model (SLM) community to heavily rely on Word Error Rate (WER) --…
Step-Audio-R1 Technical Report
Fei Tian, Xiangyu Tony Zhang, Yuxin Zhang +14
Recent advances in reasoning models have demonstrated remarkable success in text and vision domains through extended chain-of-thought deliberation. However, a perplexing phenomenon…
Code-switching Speech Recognition Under the Lens: Model- and Data-Centric Perspectives
Hexin Liu, Haoyang Zhang, Qiquan Zhang +4
Code-switching automatic speech recognition (CS-ASR) presents unique challenges due to language confusion introduced by spontaneous intra-sentence switching and accent bias that bl…
Long-Context Modeling Networks for Monaural Speech Enhancement: A Comparative Study
Qiquan Zhang, Moran Chen, Zeyang Song +3
Advanced long-context modeling backbone networks, such as Transformer, Conformer, and Mamba, have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in speech enhancement. However, a system…
Impact of Frame Rates on Speech Tokenizer: A Case Study on Mandarin and English
Haoyang Zhang, Hexin Liu, Xiangyu Zhang +7
The speech tokenizer plays a crucial role in recent speech tasks, generally serving as a bridge between speech signals and language models. While low-frame-rate codecs are widely e…
SpeechT-RAG: Reliable Depression Detection in LLMs with Retrieval-Augmented Generation Using Speech Timing Information
Xiangyu Zhang, Hexin Liu, Qiquan Zhang +2
Large Language Models (LLMs) have been increasingly adopted for health-related tasks, yet their performance in depression detection remains limited when relying solely on text inpu…
Selective State Space Model for Monaural Speech Enhancement
Moran Chen, Qiquan Zhang, Mingjiang Wang +4
Voice user interfaces (VUIs) have facilitated the efficient interactions between humans and machines through spoken commands. Since real-word acoustic scenes are complex, speech en…
SAV-SE: Scene-aware Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement with Selective State Space Model
Xinyuan Qian, Jiaran Gao, Yaodan Zhang +4
Speech enhancement plays an essential role in various applications, and the integration of visual information has been demonstrated to bring substantial advantages. However, the ma…
Mamba in Speech: Towards an Alternative to Self-Attention
Xiangyu Zhang, Qiquan Zhang, Hexin Liu +6
Transformer and its derivatives have achieved success in diverse tasks across computer vision, natural language processing, and speech processing. To reduce the complexity of compu…
Aligning Speech to Languages to Enhance Code-switching Speech Recognition
Hexin Liu, Xiangyu Zhang, Haoyang Zhang +4
Code-switching (CS) refers to the switching of languages within a speech signal and results in language confusion for automatic speech recognition (ASR). To address language confus…
When LLMs Meets Acoustic Landmarks: An Efficient Approach to Integrate Speech into Large Language Models for Depression Detection
Xiangyu Zhang, Hexin Liu, Kaishuai Xu +4
Depression is a critical concern in global mental health, prompting extensive research into AI-based detection methods. Among various AI technologies, Large Language Models (LLMs)…
Speaking in Wavelet Domain: A Simple and Efficient Approach to Speed up Speech Diffusion Model
Xiangyu Zhang, Daijiao Liu, Hexin Liu +5
Recently, Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) have attained leading performances across a diverse range of generative tasks. However, in the field of speech synthesis,…
A Quantitative Approach to Understand Self-Supervised Models as Cross-lingual Feature Extractors
