D2: High-Capability Full-Duplex Spoken Language Models from Half-Duplex Backbones
Cheng-Kuang Chang, Alexander H. Liu, Brian Kingsbury +5
Full-duplex spoken language models (FD-SLMs) support simultaneous listening and speaking, but often lag behind half-duplex spoken language models (HD-SLMs) in general capabilities.…
MP-Bench: Evaluating Voice Agents as a Multiparty Conversation Participant
Yi-Jen Shih, Shih-Yun Shan Kuan, Guan-Ting Lin +7
Conversational voice agents have advanced significantly, offering increasingly natural human-machine interactions through both cascaded and end-to-end architectures. However, while…
AudioICL-Bench: A Benchmark for Large Audio Language Model In-Context Learning
Jia-Hung Chen, Yi-Cheng Lin, Kai-Wei Chang +2
In-context learning (ICL) promises training-free adaptation for audio, where labeling every new condition is costly. Yet existing audio ICL studies largely measure Task Recognition…
Unsupervised Speech Recognition at the Syllable Level
Liming Wang, Kai-Wei Chang, Kunio Kashino +3
Training speech recognizers with unpaired speech and text -- known as unsupervised speech recognition (UASR) -- is a crucial step toward extending ASR to low-resource languages in…
Multimodal Unlearning Across Vision, Language, Video, and Audio: Survey of Methods, Datasets, and Benchmarks
Nobin Sarwar, Shubhashis Roy Dipta, Zheyuan Liu +1
With the growing adoption of VLMs, DMs, LLMs, and AFMs, these multimodal foundation models can inadvertently encode sensitive, copyrighted, biased, or unsafe cross-modal associatio…
Overcoming State Inertia in Full-Duplex Spoken Language Models via Activation Steering
Cheng-Kuang Chang, Kai-Wei Chang, Alexander H. Liu +1
Full-duplex spoken language models (FD-SLMs) enable seamless speech interaction by allowing models to listen and speak simultaneously, yet the internal mechanism by which they coor…
RRP-Voice: A Longitudinal Dataset and Benchmark for Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis Detection
Wenze Ren, Ke-Han Lu, Kai-Wei Chang +8
Deep learning has advanced pathological voice detection rapidly, yet rare laryngeal diseases remain underexplored due to data scarcity. Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP) e…
TiCo: Time-Controllable Spoken Dialogue Model
Kai-Wei Chang, Wei-Chih Chen, En-Pei Hu +2
We introduce TiCo, a time-controllable spoken dialogue model (SDM) that follows time-constrained instructions (e.g., "Please generate a response lasting about 15 seconds") and gene…
TaigiSpeech: A Low-Resource Real-World Speech Intent Dataset and Preliminary Results with Scalable Data Mining In-the-Wild
Kai-Wei Chang, Yi-Cheng Lin, Huang-Cheng Chou +9
Speech technologies have advanced rapidly and serve diverse populations worldwide. However, many languages remain underrepresented due to limited resources. In this paper, we intro…
AQAScore: Evaluating Semantic Alignment in Text-to-Audio Generation via Audio Question Answering
Chun-Yi Kuan, Kai-Wei Chang, Hung-yi Lee
Although text-to-audio generation has made remarkable progress in realism and diversity, the development of evaluation metrics has not kept pace. Widely-adopted approaches, typical…
On the Fallacy of Global Token Perplexity in Spoken Language Model Evaluation
Chan-Jan Hsu, Liang-Hsuan Tseng, Yi-Cheng Lin +5
Generative spoken language models pretrained on large-scale raw audio can continue a speech prompt with appropriate content while preserving attributes like speaker and emotion, se…
