Findings of the First Teaching Monster Challenge: A Benchmark of Pedagogical Content Knowledge in AI Agents
Yi-Cheng Lin, Yu-Kai Guo, Szu-Chi Chen +15
AI agents can now solve problems, answer like subject experts, and generate long-form multimodal content. However, whether they can adapt a lesson to fit a specified learner, which…
AMRD: Adaptive Multi-Teacher Relational Distillation for Lightweight Speech Emotion Recognition
Yuqi Li, Yi-Cheng Lin, Xianglong Wang +5
On-device speech emotion recognition (SER) is critical for real-time applications, yet large self-supervised models that excel at SER are too costly for edge devices. Multi-teacher…
EduPanel: A Three-Agent LLM Judge for Teaching Videos -- Reliability, Complementarity, and Human Trust Calibration
Jia-Kai Dong, Yi-Cheng Lin, Hung-yi Lee
Teaching videos are becoming a major medium for education, creating a growing need for scalable evaluation of their pedagogical quality. Existing automatic judges do not fully addr…
Hearing Like Humans? Sound Symbolism and Perceptual Alignment in Speech Language Models
Yun-Shao Tsai, Chun-Wei Chen, Chee-En Yu +2
Sound symbolism, the human tendency to map speech sounds to perceptual qualities such as roundness or sharpness, arises primarily from the acoustics of speech rather than spelling.…
Escaping the Procrustean Bed: Groupwise Orthogonal Connectors for Audio-Language Models
Ho-Lam Chung, Ke-Han Lu, Yi-Cheng Lin +3
Audio-language models compress a speech encoder's output through a Querying Transformer (Q-Former) connector before feeding it to a large language model. We identify two failures i…
VIBE: Voice-Induced open-ended Bias Evaluation for Large Audio-Language Models via Real-World Speech
Yi-Cheng Lin, Yusuke Hirota, Sung-Feng Huang +1
Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) are increasingly integrated into daily applications, yet their generative biases remain underexplored. Existing speech fairness benchmarks rely…
