Aligning Paralinguistic Understanding and Generation in Speech LLMs via Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning
Jingxiang Chen, Minseok Kim, Seong-Gyun Leem +13
Speech large language models (LLMs) observe paralinguistic cues such as prosody, emotion, and non-verbal sounds--crucial for intent understanding. However, leveraging these cues fa…
WearVox: An Egocentric Multichannel Voice Assistant Benchmark for Wearables
Zhaojiang Lin, Yong Xu, Kai Sun +17
Wearable devices such as AI glasses are transforming voice assistants into always-available, hands-free collaborators that integrate seamlessly with daily life, but they also intro…
AssoMem: Scalable Memory QA with Multi-Signal Associative Retrieval
Kai Zhang, Xinyuan Zhang, Ejaz Ahmed +11
Accurate recall from large scale memories remains a core challenge for memory augmented AI assistants performing question answering (QA), especially in similarity dense scenarios w…
Stream RAG: Instant and Accurate Spoken Dialogue Systems with Streaming Tool Usage
Siddhant Arora, Haidar Khan, Kai Sun +14
End-to-end speech-in speech-out dialogue systems are emerging as a powerful alternative to traditional ASR-LLM-TTS pipelines, generating more natural, expressive responses with sig…
SCRIBES: Web-Scale Script-Based Semi-Structured Data Extraction with Reinforcement Learning
Shicheng Liu, Kai Sun, Lisheng Fu +8
Semi-structured content in HTML tables, lists, and infoboxes accounts for a substantial share of factual data on the web, yet the formatting complicates usage, and reliably extract…
Knowledge Extraction on Semi-Structured Content: Does It Remain Relevant for Question Answering in the Era of LLMs?
Kai Sun, Yin Huang, Srishti Mehra +11
The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) has significantly advanced web-based Question Answering (QA) systems over semi-structured content, raising questions about the continued…
ConfRAG: Confidence-Guided Retrieval-Augmenting Generation
Yin Huang, Yifan Ethan Xu, Kai Sun +12
Can Large Language Models (LLMs) be trained to avoid hallucinating factual statements, and can Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) be triggered only when necessary to reduce retri…
