Sonic-AMG: Streaming Human Motion Generation from Spatial Audio
Modeling human reactions to spatial audio requires understanding both what is heard and where it comes from.Revisiting Accent Classification with DistilHuBERT: Speaker-Disjoint Evaluation and Cross-Corpus Generalization
Recent accent classification systems can achieve high accuracy in standard in-corpus evaluations.Oído: Open-Vocabulary Speech Recognition on a $5 Microcontroller without a Neural Accelerator
Speech recognition on low-cost microcontrollers is, in practice, limited to keyword spotting or a fixed list of commands.AudioTETRIS: Token Elimination via Transitional Importance Signals for Efficient Audio LLMs
Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) achieve strong performance on speech-text tasks, but standard audio encoders produce hundreds of tokens for even short audio clips.Vocal Intensity Conversion with Continuous SPL Control via Adversarial Training
Vocal intensity conversion renders a recorded utterance at a different vocal intensity, rather than simply scaling its amplitude, while preserving its content and speaker identity.X-AVDD: Cross-Attentive Audio-Visual Dataset Distillation
Audio-visual dataset distillation aims to synthesize a small dataset from a large paired audio-visual dataset, while nearly preserving the training utility for neural networks.OpenPA: Forced-alignment-free Multi-granular Pronunciation Assessment with Mixed-transcript Adaptation
Recent advances in automatic pronunciation assessment (APA) have driven a shift from scripted to free-form assessment.RUBATO: Decoupled Clocks Allow Full-Duplex Models to Think as Fast as They Can
Recent Speech Full-Duplex (FDX) models are capable of engaging in naturalistic conversation by listening and speaking at the same time.Local Prototype Reconstruction for Text-Compatible Speech-to-LLM Bridge Pretraining
Speech-to-LLM systems often connect a frozen speech encoder to a frozen large language model (LLM) through a small trainable bridge.Selective Listening: Mechanism-Guided Control of Audio Influence in Large Audio-Language Models
Large audio-language models (LALMs) exploit multimodal evidence, yet task-irrelevant audio can alter text-reasoning decisions when listening is unnecessary.Breaking the Group Size Barrier: Parameter-Efficient Group Dance Generation with Chain-of-Dancers
Group dance generation aims to synthesize coordinated multi-dancer choreography from music, with broad applications in animation and interactive content creation.DuplexAgent-RSI: Recursive Harness Improvement for Full-Duplex Voice Agent Collaboration
Voice agents are converging on a collaboration pattern: a full-duplex interaction model stays on the live channel as the entry to the conversation, while search, reasoning, and coding are handled…SepGen: Multi-Stem Audio-Video Separation and Generation in a Single Model
A 4D audio-visual scene comprises a video, the dynamic geometry it depicts, and the sound sources that populate it, each with its own position and trajectory.Beyond Speech Captions: Speech-Rewarded Style Planning for Conversational Text-to-Speech
Natural-language style descriptions provide an interpretable interface between large language models (LLMs) and controllable text-to-speech (TTS).Self-Supervised Speech Representations for Cross-Speaker Dysarthria Detection During Awake Craniotomy
Detecting intra-operative speech impairment during awake craniotomy is essential for preserving language function.Open-Vocabulary Audio-Visual Event Localization via Complex-Valued Fusion
Open-Vocabulary Audio-Visual Event Localization (OV-AVEL) labels each video segment with an event class, including classes that were never seen during training.DiffuPlex: Accelerating Full-Duplex Spoken Dialog Models via Rolling Masked Diffusion
Recent full-duplex spoken dialog models enable simultaneous listening and speaking, but fine-grained models still advance their backbone autoregressively at every interaction frame.EgoVoice: Proactive Spoken Assistance from Egocentric Multimodal Streams
Wearable augmented reality (AR) assistants are moving toward continuous real-world interaction, where they perceive the user's activity through first-person video and audio and provide timely spoken…How Much Audio Is Left In An Embedding? An Inversion Audit Of Audio Encoders
Pretrained audio encoders are reused for downstream tasks that are often unknown when the encoder is trained, so their usefulness depends partly on which signal properties survive the pretext…Structural and Representational Agency in LLM-Driven Timbre Generation and Interpolation
Generative creative interfaces routinely report the user's position within a space of possibilities.
