SURE-EVAL: A Systematic and Unified Agentic Framework for Reproducible Evaluation

Jing Peng, Junhao Du, Yixuan Wang +21

Audio and speech models are released rapidly, but reported scores often conflate model capability with deployment and evaluation choices. The same checkpoint can produce different…

WenetSpeech-Min: A Large-Scale Minnan Speech Corpus with Dual Transcriptions for Dialectal Speech Processing

Haoyu Zhang, Chunjiang He, Hongtao Li +17

Progress in dialectal speech technology is hindered by the scarcity of large-scale, real-world corpora. For Minnan speech, existing resources remain limited, and few provide paired…

The SLT 2026 SmartGlasses Challenge: Benchmarking Egocentric Multi-Talker Speech Recognition and Understanding with Audio-Language Models

Dehui Gao, Zhixian Zhao, Zhennan Lin +14

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) and multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) have created new opportunities for wearable speech interfaces, with smart glasses providing an egocentri…

SpeakerCard-1M: An Evidence-Grounded Corpus for In-the-Wild Speaker Verification

Junyi Peng, Oldřich Plchot, Xiao Song +9

Modern speaker verification (SV) systems rely on speaker embeddings that are effective but difficult to interpret or query in natural language. Most existing speech-text corpora ta…

MSU-Bench: Towards Speaker-Centric Understanding in Conversational Multi-Speaker Scenarios

Zhaokai Sun, Shuai Wang, Zhennan Lin +6

Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) is moving from task-specific pipelines toward large audio language models (LALMs) that generate natural-language responses. However, existing sp…

A Unified and Reproducible Experimentation Framework for Speech Understanding

Jing Peng, Junhao Du, Chenghao Wang +21

Speech foundation models and Speech LLMs have advanced speech understanding, yet deployment-oriented model selection is hindered by non-comparable evaluations caused by mismatched…

Audio-Mind: An Auditable Agentic Framework for Audio Understanding

Yucheng Wang, Jing Peng, Hanqi Li +6

Audio agents extend large audio-language models (LALMs) by decomposing audio questions into tool calls, intermediate evidence, and iterative reasoning steps. However, as LALMs beco…

Full-Duplex Interaction in Spoken Dialogue Systems: A Comprehensive Study from the ICASSP 2026 HumDial Challenge

Chengyou Wang, Hongfei Xue, Guojian Li +6

Full-duplex interaction, where speakers and listeners converse simultaneously, is a key element of human communication often missing from traditional spoken dialogue systems. These…

HumDial-EIBench: A Human-Recorded Multi-Turn Emotional Intelligence Benchmark for Audio Language Models

Shuiyuan Wang, Zhixian Zhao, Hongfei Xue +5

Evaluating the emotional intelligence (EI) of audio language models (ALMs) is critical. However, existing benchmarks mostly rely on synthesized speech, are limited to single-turn i…

Speaker-Reasoner: Scaling Interaction Turns and Reasoning Patterns for Timestamped Speaker-Attributed ASR

Zhennan Lin, Shuai Wang, Zhaokai Sun +5

Transcribing and understanding multi-speaker conversations requires speech recognition, speaker attribution, and timestamp localization. While speech LLMs excel at single-speaker t…
