DuplexSLA: A Full-Duplex Spoken Language Model with Synchronized Speech, Language, and Action
Haoyang Zhang, Jun Chen, Donghang Wu +13
Recent advances in spoken dialogue language models have shifted from turn-based to full-duplex designs, where the model continuously listens to the user while generating responses.…
Step-Audio-R1.5 Technical Report
Yuxin Zhang, Xiangyu Tony Zhang, Daijiao Liu +16
Recent advancements in large audio language models have extended Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning into the auditory domain, enabling models to tackle increasingly complex acoustic…
The WER Trap: Shattering the Illusion of Unified Tokens in Speech Language Models
Xiangyu Zhang, Yuxin Li, Haoyang Zhang +5
The pursuit of a "unified" discrete token for both speech understanding and generation has led the Speech Language Model (SLM) community to heavily rely on Word Error Rate (WER) --…
Code-switching Speech Recognition Under the Lens: Model- and Data-Centric Perspectives
Hexin Liu, Haoyang Zhang, Qiquan Zhang +4
Code-switching automatic speech recognition (CS-ASR) presents unique challenges due to language confusion introduced by spontaneous intra-sentence switching and accent bias that bl…
Step-Audio-R1 Technical Report
Fei Tian, Xiangyu Tony Zhang, Yuxin Zhang +14
Recent advances in reasoning models have demonstrated remarkable success in text and vision domains through extended chain-of-thought deliberation. However, a perplexing phenomenon…
Aligning Speech to Languages to Enhance Code-switching Speech Recognition
Hexin Liu, Xiangyu Zhang, Haoyang Zhang +4
Code-switching (CS) refers to the switching of languages within a speech signal and results in language confusion for automatic speech recognition (ASR). To address language confus…
