SALMONN-2: Advancing General-Purpose Hearing Abilities with Self-Supervised Representations

Xiaoyu Yang, Xuenan Xu, Wenyi Yu +10

Recent audio large language models (ALLMs) are typically built upon audio encoders trained with large amounts of supervised data. Since self-supervised learning (SSL) audio encoder…

AuDirector: A Self-Reflective Closed-Loop Framework for Immersive Audio Storytelling

Yiming Ren, Xuenan Xu, Ziyang Zhang +3

Despite advances in text and visual generation, creating coherent long-form audio narratives remains challenging. Existing frameworks often exhibit limitations such as mismatched c…

HoliAntiSpoof: Audio LLM for Holistic Speech Anti-Spoofing

Xuenan Xu, Yiming Ren, Liwei Liu +5

Recent advances in speech synthesis and editing have made speech spoofing increasingly challenging. However, most existing methods treat spoofing as binary classification, overlook…

SPEAR: A Unified SSL Framework for Learning Speech and Audio Representations

Xiaoyu Yang, Yifan Yang, Zengrui Jin +5

Self-supervised learning (SSL) has significantly advanced acoustic representation learning. However, most existing models are optimised for either speech or audio event understandi…

Bayesian Speech Synthesizers Can Learn from Multiple Teachers

Ziyang Zhang, Yifan Gao, Xuenan Xu +3

Text-to-speech (TTS) is a "one-to-many" problem: one text can be spoken in many valid ways, so its realizations form a distribution whose spread depends on the input. Most TTS mode…

Can Audio Large Language Models Verify Speaker Identity?

Yiming Ren, Xuenan Xu, Baoxiang Li +2

This paper investigates adapting Audio Large Language Models (ALLMs) for speaker verification (SV). We reformulate SV as an audio question-answering task and conduct comprehensive…

Robust Residual Finite Scalar Quantization for Neural Compression

Xiaoxu Zhu, Dongchuan Ran, Yiming Ren +1

Finite Scalar Quantization (FSQ) offers simplified training but suffers from residual magnitude decay in multi-stage settings, where subsequent stages receive exponentially weaker…

Dual-path Transformer Based Neural Beamformer for Target Speech Extraction

Aoqi Guo, Sichong Qian, Baoxiang Li +1

Neural beamformers, which integrate both pre-separation and beamforming modules, have demonstrated impressive effectiveness in target speech extraction. Nevertheless, the performan…
