CrossEdit: Cross-Modal Training Enables Rich Audio-Visual Editing
William Chen, Prem Seetharaman, Ke Chen +10
Multimedia editing requires generative models to interpret complex, compositional instructions and modify only the desired elements across modalities, a capability largely beyond e…
LACE: Layer-Wise Compression for Dynamic Frame Rate Codecs
Thanapat Trachu, Samuele Cornell, William Chen +1
Neural audio codecs are a key component in speech language modeling. However, their high frame rates lead to long sequence lengths, increasing computational costs. Dynamic frame ra…
MulTTiPop: A Multitrack Transcription Dataset for Pop Music
Nathan Pruyne, Benjamin Stoler, William Chen +3
We present MulTTiPop, a dataset of pop music segments and their associated multitrack MIDI recordings for the evaluation of automatic music transcription models. MulTTiPop contains…
AudioChat: Unified Audio Storytelling, Editing, and Understanding with Transfusion Forcing
William Chen, Prem Seetharaman, Rithesh Kumar +4
Despite recent breakthroughs, audio foundation models struggle in processing complex multi-source acoustic scenes. We refer to this challenging domain as audio stories, which can h…
Bagpiper: Solving Open-Ended Audio Tasks via Rich Captions
Jinchuan Tian, Haoran Wang, Bo-Hao Su +14
Current audio foundation models typically rely on rigid, task-specific supervision (e.g., speech recognition), addressing isolated factors of audio rather than the whole. In contra…
PURE Codec: Progressive Unfolding of Residual Entropy for Speech Codec Learning
Jiatong Shi, Haoran Wang, William Chen +4
Neural speech codecs have achieved strong performance in low-bitrate compression, but residual vector quantization (RVQ) often suffers from unstable training and ineffective decomp…
CS-FLEURS: A Massively Multilingual and Code-Switched Speech Dataset
Brian Yan, Injy Hamed, Shuichiro Shimizu +24
We present CS-FLEURS, a new dataset for developing and evaluating code-switched speech recognition and translation systems beyond high-resourced languages. CS-FLEURS consists of 4…
OpusLM: A Family of Open Unified Speech Language Models
Jinchuan Tian, William Chen, Yifan Peng +9
This paper presents Open Unified Speech Language Models (OpusLMs), a family of open foundational speech language models (SpeechLMs) up to 7B. Initialized from decoder-only text lan…
OWSM v4: Improving Open Whisper-Style Speech Models via Data Scaling and Cleaning
Yifan Peng, Shakeel Muhammad, Yui Sudo +4
The Open Whisper-style Speech Models (OWSM) project has developed a series of fully open speech foundation models using academic-scale resources, but their training data remains in…
VulBinLLM: LLM-powered Vulnerability Detection for Stripped Binaries
Nasir Hussain, Haohan Chen, Chanh Tran +6
Recognizing vulnerabilities in stripped binary files presents a significant challenge in software security. Although some progress has been made in generating human-readable inform…
Measuring General Intelligence with Generated Games
Vivek Verma, David Huang, William Chen +2
We present gg-bench, a collection of game environments designed to evaluate general reasoning capabilities in language models. Unlike most static benchmarks, gg-bench is a data gen…
ESPnet-SDS: Unified Toolkit and Demo for Spoken Dialogue Systems
Siddhant Arora, Yifan Peng, Jiatong Shi +9
Advancements in audio foundation models (FMs) have fueled interest in end-to-end (E2E) spoken dialogue systems, but different web interfaces for each system makes it challenging to…
Proactive Privacy Amnesia for Large Language Models: Safeguarding PII with Negligible Impact on Model Utility
Martin Kuo, Jingyang Zhang, Jianyi Zhang +9
With the rise of large language models (LLMs), increasing research has recognized their risk of leaking personally identifiable information (PII) under malicious attacks. Although…
ESPnet-SpeechLM: An Open Speech Language Model Toolkit
Jinchuan Tian, Jiatong Shi, William Chen +13
We present ESPnet-SpeechLM, an open toolkit designed to democratize the development of speech language models (SpeechLMs) and voice-driven agentic applications. The toolkit standar…
Findings of the IWSLT 2024 Evaluation Campaign
Ibrahim Said Ahmad, Antonios Anastasopoulos, Ondřej Bojar +42
This paper reports on the shared tasks organized by the 21st IWSLT Conference. The shared tasks address 7 scientific challenges in spoken language translation: simultaneous and off…
