One Model, Many Latencies: Universal Speech Enhancement for Diverse Real-Time Applications

Szu-Wei Fu, Rong Chao, Xuesong Yang +4

Different real-time speech applications impose distinct latency budgets, often requiring separately trained enhancement models for each scenario. In this paper, we propose a one-fo…

How Auditory Knowledge in LLM Backbones Shapes Audio Language Models: A Holistic Evaluation

Ke-Han Lu, Szu-Wei Fu, Chao-Han Huck Yang +13

Large language models (LLMs) have been widely used as knowledge backbones of Large Audio Language Models (LALMs), yet how much auditory knowledge they encode through text-only pre-…

Speech-Hands: A Self-Reflection Voice Agentic Approach to Speech Recognition and Audio Reasoning with Omni Perception

Zhen Wan, Chao-Han Huck Yang, Jinchuan Tian +15

We introduce a voice-agentic framework that learns one critical omni-understanding skill: knowing when to trust itself versus when to consult external audio perception. Our work is…

Investigating Safety Vulnerabilities of Large Audio-Language Models Under Speaker Emotional Variations

Bo-Han Feng, Chien-Feng Liu, Yu-Hsuan Li Liang +9

Large audio-language models (LALMs) extend text-based LLMs with auditory understanding, offering new opportunities for multimodal applications. While their perception, reasoning, a…
