Task Vector in TTS: Toward Emotionally Expressive Dialectal Speech Synthesis
Pengchao Feng, Yao Xiao, Ziyang Ma +5
Recent advances in text-to-speech (TTS) have yielded remarkable improvements in naturalness and intelligibility. Building on these achievements, research has increasingly shifted t…
MAC-SLU: Multi-Intent Automotive Cabin Spoken Language Understanding Benchmark
Yuezhang Peng, Chonghao Cai, Ziang Liu +10
Spoken Language Understanding (SLU), which aims to extract user semantics to execute downstream tasks, is a crucial component of task-oriented dialog systems. Existing SLU datasets…
ZO-ASR: Zeroth-Order Fine-Tuning of Speech Foundation Models without Back-Propagation
Yuezhang Peng, Yuxin Liu, Yao Li +3
Fine-tuning pre-trained speech foundation models for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is prevalent, yet constrained by substantial GPU memory requirements. We introduce ZO-ASR, a…
Enhancing Speech-to-Speech Dialogue Modeling with End-to-End Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Pengchao Feng, Ziyang Ma, Wenxi Chen +4
End-to-end speech-to-speech (S2S) dialogue systems have recently garnered increasing research attention for their lower latency and more natural integration of nonverbal cues such…
