TurnGuide: Enhancing Meaningful Full Duplex Spoken Interactions via Dynamic Turn-Level Text-Speech Interleaving
Wenqian Cui, Lei Zhu, Xiaohui Li +4
Full-Duplex Speech Language Models (FD-SLMs) are specialized foundation models designed to enable natural, real-time spoken interactions by modeling complex conversational turn-tak…
A Survey of Audio Reasoning in Multimodal Foundation Models
Zhihan Guo, Wenqian Cui, Guan-Ting Lin +8
Reasoning has become a defining capability of modern foundation models, yet its development in the audio modality remains limited. Audio poses challenges that are distinct from tho…
Towards trustworthy agentic AI: a comprehensive survey of safety, robustness, privacy, and system security
Jinhu Qi, Muzhi Li, Jiahong Liu +9
Agentic AI systems -- Large Language Models (LLMs) augmented with planning, tool use, memory, and long-horizon interactions -- can execute complex tasks autonomously, but their mul…
Minimizing Modality Gap from the Input Side: Your Speech LLM Can Be a Prosody-Aware Text LLM
Wenqian Cui, Xiao-Hui Li, Daxin Tan +2
Speech large language models (SLMs) are typically built from text large language model (TLM) checkpoints, yet they still suffer from a substantial modality gap. Prior work has main…
MTR-DuplexBench: Towards a Comprehensive Evaluation of Multi-Round Conversations for Full-Duplex Speech Language Models
He Zhang, Wenqian Cui, Haoning Xu +5
Full-Duplex Speech Language Models (FD-SLMs) enable real-time, overlapping conversational interactions, offering a more dynamic user experience compared to traditional half-duplex…
ConSurv: Multimodal Continual Learning for Survival Analysis
Dianzhi Yu, Conghao Xiong, Yankai Chen +6
Survival prediction of cancers is crucial for clinical practice, as it informs mortality risks and influences treatment plans. However, a static model trained on a single dataset f…
