SEA-SpeechBench: A Large-Scale Multitask Benchmark for Speech Understanding Across Southeast Asia
Jingyi Liao, Wenyu Zhang, Zhuohan Liu +6
The rapid advancement of audio and multimodal large language models has unlocked transformative speech understanding capabilities, yet evaluation frameworks remain predominantly En…
MERaLiON-GR: Speech Gender Recognition Model for English and SEA Languages
Qiongqiong Wang, Ai Ti Aw, Nancy F. Chen +18
We present MERaLiON-GR, a speech gender recognition system that performs binary classification (female / male) on English and Southeast Asian (SEA) languages. The model finetunes M…
Direct Preference Optimization for English-Mandarin Code-Switching Speech Recognition in Audio LLMs
Trung Nguyen Quang, Cheng Yi Lewis Won, Minh Duc Pham +3
Audio large language models (Audio LLMs) exhibit systematic failures in transcribing code-switching speech despite strong multilingual capabilities. Focusing on English-Mandarin, w…
Unlocking Cognitive Capabilities and Analyzing the Perception-Logic Trade-off
Longyin Zhang, Shuo Sun, Yingxu He +15
Recent advancements in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) pursue omni-perception capabilities, yet integrating robust sensory grounding with complex reasoning remains a chall…
