GROW: Group-Relative Advantage-Weighted On-Policy Reinforcement Learning of Autoregressive-Diffusion Text-to-Speech model
Guanrou Yang, Tian Tan, Qian Chen +8
Reinforcement learning for flow-matching text-to-speech is complicated by deterministic ODE sampling: trajectory-level policy-gradient methods typically convert the ODE into an SDE…
VISA: A Visual Information Strengthened Audio-Reasoning System for the Interspeech 2026 ARC Agent Track
Wenming Tu, Jian Gao, Yanru Huo +9
Audio reasoning requires multi-step, evidence-grounded inference over temporally dynamic and acoustically mixed signals, exceeding conventional perception tasks such as ASR or capt…
A Unified and Reproducible Experimentation Framework for Speech Understanding
Jing Peng, Junhao Du, Chenghao Wang +21
Speech foundation models and Speech LLMs have advanced speech understanding, yet deployment-oriented model selection is hindered by non-comparable evaluations caused by mismatched…
Audio-Mind: An Auditable Agentic Framework for Audio Understanding
Yucheng Wang, Jing Peng, Hanqi Li +6
Audio agents extend large audio-language models (LALMs) by decomposing audio questions into tool calls, intermediate evidence, and iterative reasoning steps. However, as LALMs beco…
UltraVoice: Scaling Fine-Grained Style-Controlled Speech Conversations for Spoken Dialogue Models
Wenming Tu, Guanrou Yang, Ruiqi Yan +6
Spoken dialogue models currently lack the ability for fine-grained speech style control, a critical capability for human-like interaction that is often overlooked in favor of purel…
