In-Context Learning in Speech Language Models: Analyzing the Role of Acoustic Features, Linguistic Structure, and Induction Heads

Charlotte Pouw, Hosein Mohebbi, Afra Alishahi +1

In-Context Learning (ICL) has been extensively studied in text-only Language Models, but remains largely unexplored in the speech domain. Here, we investigate how linguistic and ac…

Gender Disambiguation in Machine Translation: Diagnostic Evaluation in Decoder-Only Architectures

Chiara Manna, Hosein Mohebbi, Afra Alishahi +2

While Large Language Models achieve state-of-the-art results across a wide range of NLP tasks, they remain prone to systematic biases. Among these, gender bias is particularly sali…

Are We Paying Attention to Her? Investigating Gender Disambiguation and Attention in Machine Translation

Chiara Manna, Afra Alishahi, Frédéric Blain +1

While gender bias in modern Neural Machine Translation (NMT) systems has received much attention, traditional evaluation metrics do not to fully capture the extent to which these s…

A Linguistically Motivated Analysis of Intonational Phrasing in Text-to-Speech Systems: Revealing Gaps in Syntactic Sensitivity

Charlotte Pouw, Afra Alishahi, Willem Zuidema

We analyze the syntactic sensitivity of Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems using methods inspired by psycholinguistic research. Specifically, we focus on the generation of intonational p…
