Exploring Second-Order Pattern Recognition in Speaker Recognition
In classical pattern recognition tasks, neural networks are trained to recognise human-defined patterns for model inputs.Xiaomi-CocktailASR-1 Technical Report
Recently, large language model (LLM) based ASR models have achieved significant progress, yet they generally lack support for multi-speaker scenarios, where the cocktail party problem remains a…Investigating catastrophic forgetting in sound event classification
This work investigates a number of approaches to prevent catastrophic forgetting in class incremental learning scenarios for sound event classification tasks.Whisper-Based Speech Transcription from Videos Across Multiple Languages for Cross-Cultural Understanding
Cross-cultural understanding has become increasingly important in today's highly connected, cross-national world.RetroThinker: Enabling Retrospective Thinking in Speech LLMs
Speech large language models (SpeechLLMs) offer reduced latency and retain paralinguistic nuances that are typically lost in cascaded automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-based LM…DriftSE: Speech Enhancement with Generative Drifting
We propose DriftSE, a novel one-step generative framework for speech enhancement formulated as a latent distribution equilibrium problem.Why Learning Rediscovers the Closed-Form Diagonal Regularizer
We identify a diagonal saturation principle in modal inverse problems: when truncation noise is isotropic, the Bayes-optimal Tikhonov shape is a closed-form power law Gamma_k proportional to…StreamAlign: Streaming Text-Aligned Speech Tokenization
Text-aligned speech tokenization methods have emerged to better align speech tokens with LLM token spaces, enabling more effective utilization of pretrained LLMs.Orukeet: Multilingual ASR with Frozen Gabor Kernels
Orukeet replaces half of an adapted Parakeet encoder's temporal filters with 12,288 fitted Gabor kernels, freezes these replacements, and trains the remaining parameters on multilingual and…AVSRBench: A Multi-Condition AVSR Benchmark
While AVSR has achieved sub-1% word error rates on the standard LRS3 benchmark, its reliance on broadcast speech obscures whether this reflects true generalization or just domain adaptation.Candor-LR: A Dyadic Conversational Dataset for Audio-Visual Speech Recognition
Current audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) benchmarks, like LRS3, rely heavily on clean, scripted and rehearsed speech.ConversationalVoice: Full-Duplex Speech Data from Real Conversations through Source-Faithful Reconstruction and Conversation-Grounded Expansion
Full-duplex speech models require training data that preserves turn-taking, overlap, interruption, and backchannel behavior, yet these signals are entangled across speakers in noisy real-world…From Scores to Evidence: Auditable Decisions Can Improve Speech Deepfake Detection
Speech deepfakes can mimic a speaker's voice convincingly enough to deceive listeners and automated systems.Multimodal Duplex Interaction Agent
In this work, we present Gander, a native multimodal duplex interaction model that builds on MiniCPM-o 4.5 and is further adapted for realtime interaction with an asynchronous agent loop.
