LLMs in the Real World: Evaluating "AI" in Emergency Contexts
Sara Court, Lara Downing, Micha Elsner
This paper offers a call to action. We urge our colleagues in the research community to play a greater role in the articulation of our findings to the public. To illustrate the sta…
Do Audio LLMs Really LISTEN, or Just Transcribe? Measuring Lexical vs. Acoustic Emotion Cues Reliance
Jingyi Chen, Zhimeng Guo, Jiyun Chun +3
Understanding emotion from speech requires sensitivity to both lexical and acoustic cues. However, it remains unclear whether large audio language models (LALMs) genuinely process…
Fine-Tuning Text-to-Speech Diffusion Models Using Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback
Jingyi Chen, Ju Seung Byun, Micha Elsner +2
Diffusion models produce high-fidelity speech but are inefficient for real-time use due to long denoising steps and challenges in modeling intonation and rhythm. To improve this, w…
Prompt and circumstance: A word-by-word LLM prompting approach to interlinear glossing for low-resource languages
Micha Elsner, David Liu
Partly automated creation of interlinear glossed text (IGT) has the potential to assist in linguistic documentation. We argue that LLMs can make this process more accessible to lin…
