Teaching LLMs to Hear Who Spoke What: Metadata-Supervised Pretraining for Encoder-Free Speech-LLMs
Mohan Shi, Ruchao Fan, Sunit Sivasankaran +2
Encoder-based speech large language models (Speech-LLMs) commonly employ pretrained speech encoders that prioritize linguistic content but may discard fine-grained acoustic cues es…
Compress the Cache, Not the Speech Embedding: KV Compression for Efficient Speech LLMs
Ke-Han Lu, Keqi Deng, Ruchao Fan +2
Speech large language models (Speech LLMs) typically encode speech into sequences far longer than text, creating a major efficiency bottleneck during autoregressive decoding. A com…
LLM can Read Spectrogram: Encoder-free Speech-Language Modeling
Ruchao Fan, Yiming Wang, Yuxuan Hu +6
Recent speech-aware large language models (Speech-LLMs) rely on pre-trained speech encoders to convert audio into semantic/acoustic rich representations consumable by LLM. In this…
Preserving Speech-to-Text LLM Capabilities in Speech-to-Speech Generation
Yuxuan Hu, Heng Lu, Ruchao Fan +8
Strong speech-to-text (S2T) LLMs already provide robust speech perception and text reasoning, but adding speech-to-speech (S2S) output is challenging: fine-tuning the backbone can…
RLBR: Reinforcement Learning with Biasing Rewards for Contextual Speech Large Language Models
Bo Ren, Ruchao Fan, Yelong Shen +2
Speech large language models (LLMs) have driven significant progress in end-to-end speech understanding and recognition, yet they continue to struggle with accurately recognizing r…
Train Short, Infer Long: Speech-LLM Enables Zero-Shot Streamable Joint ASR and Diarization on Long Audio
Mohan Shi, Xiong Xiao, Ruchao Fan +2
Joint automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speaker diarization aim to answer the question "who spoke what" in multi-speaker scenarios. In this paper, we present an end-to-end spe…
Towards Efficient Speech-Text Jointly Decoding within One Speech Language Model
Haibin Wu, Yuxuan Hu, Ruchao Fan +8
Speech language models (Speech LMs) enable end-to-end speech-text modeling within a single model, offering a promising direction for spoken dialogue systems. The choice of speech-t…
SLM-S2ST: A multimodal language model for direct speech-to-speech translation
Yuxuan Hu, Haibin Wu, Ruchao Fan +4
Speech-aware language models (LMs) have demonstrated capabilities in understanding spoken language while generating text-based responses. However, enabling them to produce speech o…
AlignFormer: Modality Matching Can Achieve Better Zero-shot Instruction-Following Speech-LLM
Ruchao Fan, Bo Ren, Yuxuan Hu +3
Integrating speech into LLM (speech-LLM) has gaining increased attention recently. The mainstream solution is to connect a well-trained speech encoder and LLM with a neural adapter…
