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…
CodecSlime: Temporal Redundancy Compression of Neural Speech Codec via Dynamic Frame Rate
Hankun Wang, Yiwei Guo, Chongtian Shao +2
Neural speech codecs have been widely used in audio compression and various downstream tasks. Current mainstream codecs are fixed-frame-rate (FFR), which allocate the same number o…
Recent Advances in Discrete Speech Tokens: A Review
Yiwei Guo, Zhihan Li, Hankun Wang +7
The rapid advancement of speech generation technologies in the era of large language models (LLMs) has established discrete speech tokens as a foundational paradigm for speech repr…
AHAMask: Reliable Task Specification for Large Audio Language Models without Instructions
Yiwei Guo, Bohan Li, Hankun Wang +4
Although current large audio language models (LALMs) extend text large language models (LLMs) with generic acoustic understanding abilities, they usually suffer from prompt sensiti…
A Survey on Speech Large Language Models for Understanding
Jing Peng, Yucheng Wang, Bohan Li +9
Speech understanding is essential for interpreting the diverse forms of information embedded in spoken language, including linguistic, paralinguistic, and non-linguistic cues that…
BSCodec: A Band-Split Neural Codec for High-Quality Universal Audio Reconstruction
Haoran Wang, Jiatong Shi, Jinchuan Tian +3
Neural audio codecs have recently enabled high-fidelity reconstruction at high compression rates, especially for speech. However, speech and non-speech audio exhibit fundamentally…
