FriendBench: Benchmarking Dyadic Familiarity Inference in Humans and Multimodal Large Language Models
Jeffrey M. Girard, Jason Z. Zheng, Jacqueline R. Vertino +2
Reading a social situation often depends on behavior, not words alone. We introduce FriendBench, a benchmark for inferring whether two people are already familiar or are meeting as…
Seamless Interaction: Dyadic Audiovisual Motion Modeling and Large-Scale Dataset
Vasu Agrawal, Akinniyi Akinyemi, Kathryn Alvero +81
Human communication involves a complex interplay of verbal and nonverbal signals, essential for conveying meaning and achieving interpersonal goals. To develop socially intelligent…
Beyond Turn-Based Interfaces: Synchronous LLMs as Full-Duplex Dialogue Agents
Bandhav Veluri, Benjamin N Peloquin, Bokai Yu +2
Despite broad interest in modeling spoken dialogue agents, most approaches are inherently "half-duplex" -- restricted to turn-based interaction with responses requiring explicit pr…
Textless Acoustic Model with Self-Supervised Distillation for Noise-Robust Expressive Speech-to-Speech Translation
Min-Jae Hwang, Ilia Kulikov, Benjamin Peloquin +3
In this paper, we propose a textless acoustic model with a self-supervised distillation strategy for noise-robust expressive speech-to-speech translation (S2ST). Recently proposed…
Seamless: Multilingual Expressive and Streaming Speech Translation
Seamless Communication, Loïc Barrault, Yu-An Chung +62
Large-scale automatic speech translation systems today lack key features that help machine-mediated communication feel seamless when compared to human-to-human dialogue. In this wo…
SeamlessM4T: Massively Multilingual & Multimodal Machine Translation
Seamless Communication, Loïc Barrault, Yu-An Chung +65
What does it take to create the Babel Fish, a tool that can help individuals translate speech between any two languages? While recent breakthroughs in text-based models have pushed…
A Holistic Cascade System, benchmark, and Human Evaluation Protocol for Expressive Speech-to-Speech Translation
Wen-Chin Huang, Benjamin Peloquin, Justine Kao +6
Expressive speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) aims to transfer prosodic attributes of source speech to target speech while maintaining translation accuracy. Existing research in e…
