REVE: Efficient Hallucination Correction for Large Audio-Language Models via Reused Encoder States
Large audio-language models may mention acoustic events that are absent from the input.Spoken Language Models that Think Aloud
While Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has improved the capability of language models, directly applying it to Spoken Language Models (SLMs) may introduce long silent intervals under the serial…ROAM-ASD: Robust Open-World Active Speaker Detection with Flexible Multimodal Fusion
Active speaker detection (ASD) requires reliable association between visible faces and acoustic speech, yet existing systems often degrade under challenging domains or incomplete observations.Pose-Aware Multimodal Automatic Tagging for Greek Traditional Music
Automatic tagging is a core task in Music Information Retrieval (MIR), yet most tagging systems exploit only audio.MECT: Mixture of Experts with CNN-Transformer Network for Speaker verification
In this paper, we propose MECT, a speaker verification model that integrates the Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) mechanism into a CNN-Transformer backbone with optimized block structure and stacking scheme.P2Flow: Phoneme-aware Progressive Flow Matching for Extreme Speech Super-Resolution
Generative models have recently demonstrated considerable promise in speech super-resolution (SSR).Audio-based UAV Localization with Adaptive Temporal Correspondence via Reinforcement Learning
Audio-based localization provides a low-cost and illumination-independent sensing solution for anti-UAV early warning.Understanding Hyperspherical Geometry of ECAPA-TDNN Embedding and Its Impact on Zero-Shot Voice Conversion
Angular-margin speaker encoders are widely used in voice conversion, yet the geometry of their classifier prototypes remains poorly understood.XSQ-AST: An Explainable Audio Spectrogram Transformer Framework for Localising Synthetic Speech Artifacts
Localising artifacts in synthetic speech remains challenging, as most evaluation methods yield only global quality scores.Qwen-Audio-3.1-Realtime: Towards Reliable Agentic Voice Interaction
Real-time voice assistants must reason over evolving requests, execute actions, and follow conversational rules.Low-Rank Frequency Convolution and Noise-Range Augmentation for Real-Time Pitch Estimation on Edge Devices
Pitch estimation on an edge device is constrained in three ways at once.If You Hear It, Help Find It: Orthogonal Knowledge Distillation for Open-Vocabulary Audio-Visual Event Localization
Open-vocabulary audio-visual event localization (OV-AVEL) grounds a text-queried event in time from video, audio, and language.OmniEcho: Audio-Visual Spatial Understanding for Omni-Modal Embodied Agents
Humans can effortlessly localize the direction of a sound source and integrate it with visual cues for reasoning, yet this remains challenging for embodied agents.MuLA-Bench: A Multilingual Long-Form Audio Understanding Benchmark via Multi-Tier Auditing
Long-form audio performance is often summarized by context length and aggregate accuracy, obscuring how language, evidence, and task jointly shape difficulty.Long-Tail Rebalancing for Non-Verbal Vocalization-Aware ASR: A Track 1 System for the NVVSpeech Challenge
Non-verbal vocalizations (NVVs) carry important paralinguistic information but are often omitted by conventional automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems.Listen Then Reason: Perception-Grounded Test-Time Reinforcement Learning for Large Audio-Language Models
Large audio-language models (LALMs) are increasingly used for a broader range of audio reasoning tasks.Which Constraints Are Missing? Ask the Verifier: Graded Rewards for Constraint-Following Music Generation
Constraint-following music generation asks a score to satisfy several user-specified properties at once, each checkable programmatically (key, meter, length, range, final note, rhythm, motion and…MoSAT: Human Motion Generation from Spatial Audio and Textual Description
Human motion is shaped by both external acoustic events and behavioral intent: spatial audio conveys environmental cues that elicit or guide a response, while text specifies the desired action and…DFD-Lab: A Modular Audio-Visual Deepfake Detection Pipeline
Comparing audio-visual deepfake detectors requires coordinating dataset adaptation, temporal input representation, model interfaces and experimental conditions.HaikuS2S: A Cascaded System For Responding In Verse
Expressive speech synthesis has advanced through prosody modeling, yet generating structured poetic speech, such as haiku, remains challenging.
