Reducing the Output-Mode Gap in Speech Language Models via Joint-Output On-Policy Distillation

Daxin Tan, Dehua Tao, Chengxi Deng +2

Autoregressive generation of interleaved text and acoustic tokens is a common approach to spoken-response generation in speech large language models. Although this design enables s…

NormToken: Speaker- and Duration-Normalized Semantic Speech Tokens via Iterative S2U-T2U Refinement

Hanlin Zhang, Daxin Tan, Dehua Tao +3

Semantic speech tokens should preserve linguistic content while suppressing utterance-specific acoustic and duration variation. However, existing speech-to-unit (S2U) tokenizers of…
