Towards Interpretable Framework for Neural Audio Codecs via Sparse Autoencoders: Exploration toward Age, Gender, and Accent Steering
Shih-Heng Wang, Tiantian Feng, Aditya Kommineni +4
Neural audio codecs (NACs) are widely used in speech generation and audio-language modeling, yet how they encode speaker-trait information remains poorly understood. Prior work app…
ChildVox: A Speech, Audio, and Large Audio-Language Model Benchmark in Understanding and Characterizing Sound across Childhood
Tiantian Feng, Anfeng Xu, Xuan Shi +10
We present ChildVox, a novel benchmark for characterizing the diverse acoustic signals through which children communicate. Specifically, ChildVox follows the full developmental tra…
Towards Interpretable Framework for Neural Audio Codecs via Sparse Autoencoders: A Case Study on Accent Information
Shih-Heng Wang, Tiantian Feng, Aditya Kommineni +4
Neural Audio Codecs (NACs) are widely adopted in modern speech systems, yet how they encode linguistic and paralinguistic information remains unclear. Improving the interpretabilit…
A Review of Speech-centric Trustworthy Machine Learning: Privacy, Safety, and Fairness
Tiantian Feng, Rajat Hebbar, Nicholas Mehlman +3
Speech-centric machine learning systems have revolutionized many leading domains ranging from transportation and healthcare to education and defense, profoundly changing how people…
