NVV-SuperBench: Beyond Words, Beyond Quality-Benchmarking Nonverbal Vocalizations in Speech Generation
Liumeng Xue, Weizhen Bian, Jiahao Pan +9
Nonverbal vocalizations (NVVs), such as laughing, sighing, and sobbing, are essential for human-like speech, yet standardized evaluation rarely jointly assesses whether systems gen…
Full-Duplex-Bench-v2: A Multi-Turn Evaluation Framework for Duplex Dialogue Systems with an Automated Examiner
Guan-Ting Lin, Shih-Yun Shan Kuan, Jiatong Shi +4
While full-duplex speech agents enable natural, low-latency interaction by speaking and listening simultaneously, their consistency and task performance in multi-turn settings rema…
Discrete Audio Tokens: More Than a Survey!
Pooneh Mousavi, Gallil Maimon, Adel Moumen +18
Discrete audio tokens are compact representations that aim to preserve perceptual quality, phonetic content, and speaker characteristics while enabling efficient storage and infere…
The ML-SUPERB 2.0 Challenge: Towards Inclusive ASR Benchmarking for All Language Varieties
William Chen, Chutong Meng, Jiatong Shi +10
Recent improvements in multilingual ASR have not been equally distributed across languages and language varieties. To advance state-of-the-art (SOTA) ASR models, we present the Int…
How to Learn a New Language? An Efficient Solution for Self-Supervised Learning Models Unseen Languages Adaption in Low-Resource Scenario
Shih-Heng Wang, Zih-Ching Chen, Jiatong Shi +6
The utilization of speech Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) models achieves impressive performance on Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). However, in low-resource language ASR, they e…
Fusion of Discrete Representations and Self-Augmented Representations for Multilingual Automatic Speech Recognition
Shih-heng Wang, Jiatong Shi, Chien-yu Huang +2
Self-supervised learning (SSL) models have shown exceptional capabilities across various speech-processing tasks. Continuous SSL representations are effective but suffer from high…
