SemBridge: Semantic Token Anchoring for Continuous-Latent Autoregressive Speech Generation
Hanke Xie, Haopeng Lin, Jiale Qian +13
Continuous-latent autoregressive speech generation has emerged as a promising alternative to discrete-token modeling by avoiding quantization loss and preserving richer acoustic in…
FastTurn: Unifying Acoustic and Streaming Semantic Cues for Low-Latency and Robust Turn Detection
Chengyou Wang, Hongfei Xue, Mingchen Shao +9
FastTurn is a unified framework that combines streaming CTC decoding with acoustic and semantic cues to achieve low-latency, robust turn detection for real-time full‑duplex spoken…
Towards Unified Song Generation and Singing Voice Conversion with Accompaniment Co-Generation
Ziyu Zhang, Chunyu Qiang, Xiaopeng Wang +10
While song generation and singing voice conversion (SVC) have evolved significantly, they have long been developed isolated: the former lacks zero-shot speaker cloning, while the l…
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…
Beyond Semantic Dominance: Cognitive Affective Reasoning and Empathetic Response Alignment in Audio Language Models
Zhixian Zhao, Shuiyuan Wang, Wenjie Tian +3
While Audio Language Models (ALMs) demonstrate strong semantic understanding, they struggle with complex affective interactions. Specifically, textual semantic dominance often over…
FlashTTS: Fast Streaming TTS with MTP Acceleration and X-pred Mean Flow Distillation
Hanke Xie, Xiaming Ren, Dake Guo +10
Recent progress in speech dialogue systems requires Text-to-Speech (TTS) models to be faster and more responsive. Modern speech dialogue systems impose two primary requirements on…
