HyPASE: Hyperbolic Geometry for Parameter-Efficient Speech Emotion Fine-Tuning Framework for Large Audio-Language Models
Tian Jin, Ruikang Zhang, Zefeng Zhao +2
Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) excel at general speech understanding; however, adapting them to fine-grained tasks like Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) remains a significant…
EchoMind: An Interrelated Multi-level Benchmark for Evaluating Empathetic Speech Language Models
Li Zhou, Lutong Yu, You Lyu +6
Speech Language Models (SLMs) have made significant progress in spoken language understanding. Yet it remains unclear whether they can fully perceive non lexical vocal cues alongsi…
Discourse-Aware Dual-Track Streaming Response for Low-Latency Spoken Dialogue Systems
Siyuan Liu, Jiahui Xu, Feng Jiang +6
Achieving human-like responsiveness is a critical yet challenging goal for cascaded spoken dialogue systems. Conventional ASR-LLM-TTS pipelines follow a strictly sequential paradig…
Do We Really Need GNNs with Explicit Structural Modeling? MLPs Suffice for Language Model Representations
Li Zhou, Hao Jiang, Junjie Li +4
Explicit structural information has been proven to be encoded by Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), serving as auxiliary knowledge to enhance model capabilities and improve performance…
