Spoken DialogSum: An Emotion-Rich Conversational Dataset for Spoken Dialogue Summarization
Yen-Ju Lu, Kunxiao Gao, Mingrui Liang +5
Recent audio language models can follow long conversations. However, research on emotion-aware or spoken dialogue summarization is constrained by the lack of data that links speech…
Scaling Multi-Talker ASR with Speaker-Agnostic Activity Streams
Xiluo He, Alexander Polok, Jesús Villalba +2
An increasingly common training paradigm for multi-talker automatic speech recognition (ASR) is to use speaker activity signals to adapt single-speaker ASR models for overlapping s…
Paired by the Teacher: Turning Unpaired Data into High-Fidelity Pairs for Low-Resource Text Generation
Yen-Ju Lu, Thomas Thebaud, Laureano Moro-Velazquez +2
We present Paired by the Teacher (PbT), a two-stage teacher-student pipeline that synthesizes accurate input-output pairs without human labels or parallel data. In many low-resourc…
Cross-Corpus and Cross-domain Handwriting Assessment of NeuroDegenerative Diseases via Time-Series-to-Image Conversion
Gabrielle Chavez, Laureano Moro-Velazquez, Ankur Butala +2
Handwriting is significantly affected by neurological disorders (ND) such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Prior works have analyzed handwriting tasks usin…
Enhancing Dialogue Annotation with Speaker Characteristics Leveraging a Frozen LLM
Thomas Thebaud, Yen-Ju Lu, Matthew Wiesner +2
In dialogue transcription pipelines, Large Language Models (LLMs) are frequently employed in post-processing to improve grammar, punctuation, and readability. We explore a compleme…
Multi-Target Backdoor Attacks Against Speaker Recognition
Alexandrine Fortier, Sonal Joshi, Thomas Thebaud +3
In this work, we propose a multi-target backdoor attack against speaker identification using position-independent clicking sounds as triggers. Unlike previous single-target approac…
