arXiv:2606. 22790v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the tradeoffs between compute allocation and model performance for two speech processing tasks: Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Speech Emotion Recognition (SER).
arXiv:2608. 08569v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advancements in Speech Large Language Models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in understanding complex audio tasks.
arXiv:2608. 04351v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) excel at general speech understanding; however, adapting them to fine-grained tasks like Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) remains a significant bottleneck.
Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) excel at general speech understanding; however, adapting them to fine-grained tasks like Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) remains a significant bottleneck. Current Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) methods typically operate in flat Euclidean space, and this geometry fails to capture the multi-granularity nature of emotion cues, which range from low-level prosody to high-level semantics.
arXiv:2603. 05121v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speech Large Language Models route speech encoder representations into an LLM decoder that typically accounts for over 90% of total parameters.
arXiv:2607. 11801v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large audio-language models (LALMs) often underperform on fine-grained, non-semantic attributes of speech, such as a speaker's emotion, despite strong performance on speech content.
arXiv:2607. 25669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Emerging Omni-modal Large Language Models (OmniLLMs) enable unified understanding of text, audio, and video, but their long audio-video token sequences introduce substantial memory and inference costs.
arXiv:2508. 05149v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated potential in handling spoken inputs for high-resource languages, reaching state-of-the-art performance in various tasks.
arXiv:2601. 12494v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Audio large language models (LLMs) enable unified speech understanding and generation, but adapting them to linguistically complex and dialect-rich settings such as Arabic-English remains challenging.
arXiv:2607. 13013v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic speech recognition is dominated by autoregressive decoders that emit one token at a time.
arXiv:2608. 05165v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) in low-resource languages remains a challenging problem due to limited labeled data.
arXiv:2606. 09234v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent state-of-the-art (SOTA) text-to-speech (TTS) systems typically adopt a cascaded pipeline consisting of a speech tokenizer, an autoregressive large language model (LLM), and a diffusion based flow-matching (FM) model, with these components trained independently.
arXiv:2607. 12787v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have significantly improved the performance of multimodal emotion recognition (MER) and enabled interpretable description generation by jointly modeling video, audio, and language, etc.
