Full-Duplex Interaction with Speech, Expressions and Gestures

Siyin Wang, Wenyi Yu, Terumi Chiba +5

Human face-to-face conversation requires coordinating speech, gestures and expressions across both speaking and listening. We present ELLSA 2, an end-to-end full-duplex dialogue mo…

SALMONN-duo: Adaptive Dual-System Coordination for Full-Duplex Voice Agents

Wenyi Yu, Siyin Wang, Terumi Chiba +5

Full-duplex speech large language models (LLMs) enable low-latency, natural voice interaction. However, real-world agents must also use tools and perform deliberative reasoning-ope…

FlexiSLM: A Spoken Language Model with Dynamic and Controllable Frame Rates

Jiaqi Li, Chaoren Wang, Xiaohai Tian +9

Spoken language models (SLMs) extend LLMs to speech input and output, but existing systems use fixed frame rates (e.g., 25 or 12.5 Hz), overlooking speech's time-varying informatio…

End-to-end Listen, Look, Speak and Act

Siyin Wang, Wenyi Yu, Xianzhao Chen +4

Human interaction is inherently multimodal and full-duplex: we listen while watching, speak while acting, and fluidly adapt to turn-taking and interruptions. Realizing these capabi…

SALMONN-omni: A Standalone Speech LLM without Codec Injection for Full-duplex Conversation

Wenyi Yu, Siyin Wang, Xiaoyu Yang +7

In order to enable fluid and natural human-machine speech interaction, existing full-duplex conversational systems often adopt modular architectures with auxiliary components such…

Enabling Auditory Large Language Models for Automatic Speech Quality Evaluation

Siyin Wang, Wenyi Yu, Yudong Yang +10

Speech quality assessment typically requires evaluating audio from multiple aspects, such as mean opinion score (MOS) and speaker similarity (SIM) \etc., which can be challenging t…

A Comprehensive Solution to Connect Speech Encoder and Large Language Model for ASR

Van Tung Pham, Yist Lin, Tao Han +4

Recent works have shown promising results in connecting speech encoders to large language models (LLMs) for speech recognition. However, several limitations persist, including limi…

Can Large Language Models Understand Spatial Audio?

Changli Tang, Wenyi Yu, Guangzhi Sun +8

This paper explores enabling large language models (LLMs) to understand spatial information from multichannel audio, a skill currently lacking in auditory LLMs. By leveraging LLMs'…

Dual-Pipeline with Low-Rank Adaptation for New Language Integration in Multilingual ASR

Yerbolat Khassanov, Zhipeng Chen, Tianfeng Chen +5

This paper addresses challenges in integrating new languages into a pre-trained multilingual automatic speech recognition (mASR) system, particularly in scenarios where training da…
