SpeechAnnotator: A Context-Aware Multi-Agent Framework and Benchmark for Multidimensional Speech Annotation
Qirui Zhan, Shuiyuan Wang, Jingbin Hu +10
Recent controllable speech generation requires training data with fine-grained annotations of speaker traits, prosody, emotion, paralinguistic cues, acoustic scenes, and context. E…
Summary of the ChinaVoices Challenge 2026: Data, Tasks, Baseline, and Methods
Yujie Liao, Bingshen Mu, Shuiyuan Wang +5
This paper summarizes the ChinaVoices Challenge 2026, which aims to establish unified task definitions and evaluation conditions for Chinese dialect speech processing and to advanc…
On-Policy Self-Distillation for Multi-Dialect ASR: Mastering Dialects, Retaining Mandarin
Shuiyuan Wang, Bingshen Mu, Pengshen Zhang +6
Recent large-scale ASR models already achieve strong Mandarin recognition accuracy and have some ability to recognize Chinese dialects. However, their dialect recognition accuracy…
Beyond Semantic Dominance: Cognitive Affective Reasoning and Empathetic Response Alignment in Audio Language Models
Zhixian Zhao, Shuiyuan Wang, Wenjie Tian +3
While Audio Language Models (ALMs) demonstrate strong semantic understanding, they struggle with complex affective interactions. Specifically, textual semantic dominance often over…
Full-Duplex Interaction in Spoken Dialogue Systems: A Comprehensive Study from the ICASSP 2026 HumDial Challenge
Chengyou Wang, Hongfei Xue, Guojian Li +6
Full-duplex interaction, where speakers and listeners converse simultaneously, is a key element of human communication often missing from traditional spoken dialogue systems. These…
HumDial-EIBench: A Human-Recorded Multi-Turn Emotional Intelligence Benchmark for Audio Language Models
Shuiyuan Wang, Zhixian Zhao, Hongfei Xue +5
Evaluating the emotional intelligence (EI) of audio language models (ALMs) is critical. However, existing benchmarks mostly rely on synthesized speech, are limited to single-turn i…
FastTurn: Unifying Acoustic and Streaming Semantic Cues for Low-Latency and Robust Turn Detection
Chengyou Wang, Hongfei Xue, Mingchen Shao +9
Recent advances in AudioLLMs have enabled spoken dialogue systems to move beyond turn-based interaction toward real-time full-duplex communication, where the agent must decide when…
OSUM-Pangu: An Open-Source Multidimension Speech Understanding Foundation Model Built upon OpenPangu on Ascend NPUs
Yujie Liao, Xuelong Geng, Hongfei Xue +2
Recent advancements in Speech Large Language Models have significantly enhanced multi-dimensional speech understanding. However, the majority of high-performance frameworks are pre…
The ICASSP 2026 HumDial Challenge: Benchmarking Human-like Spoken Dialogue Systems in the LLM Era
Zhixian Zhao, Shuiyuan Wang, Guojian Li +12
Driven by the rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs), particularly Audio-LLMs and Omni-models, spoken dialogue systems have evolved significantly, progressively narrowin…
Serial-Parallel Dual-Path Architecture for Speaking Style Recognition
Guojian Li, Qijie Shao, Zhixian Zhao +3
Speaking Style Recognition (SSR) identifies a speaker's speaking style characteristics from speech. Existing style recognition approaches primarily rely on linguistic information,…
Easy Turn: Integrating Acoustic and Linguistic Modalities for Robust Turn-Taking in Full-Duplex Spoken Dialogue Systems
Guojian Li, Chengyou Wang, Hongfei Xue +8
Full-duplex interaction is crucial for natural human-machine communication, yet remains challenging as it requires robust turn-taking detection to decide when the system should spe…
WenetSpeech-Yue: A Large-scale Cantonese Speech Corpus with Multi-dimensional Annotation
Longhao Li, Zhao Guo, Hongjie Chen +15
The development of speech understanding and generation has been significantly accelerated by the availability of large-scale, high-quality speech datasets. Among these, ASR and TTS…
OSUM-EChat: Enhancing End-to-End Empathetic Spoken Chatbot via Understanding-Driven Spoken Dialogue
Xuelong Geng, Qijie Shao, Hongfei Xue +20
Empathy is crucial in enabling natural interactions within spoken dialogue systems, allowing machines to recognize and respond appropriately to paralinguistic cues such as age, gen…
