To Trust or Not to Trust: Retrieval-Augmented Fact Checking in Speech

The paper introduces VeriSpeak, a benchmark of 3,879 spoken claims for evaluating fact verification in Large Audio Language Models (LALMs). It shows a clear modality gap: models that verify written claims well often fail on spoken versions, and retrieval alone offers limited improvement. Combining retrieval with explicit reasoning yields the best performance, reaching 86.1% accuracy and demonstrating the need for grounded reasoning over retrieved evidence in speech misinformation detection.

Speaker Verification with Speech-Aware LLMs: Evaluation and Augmentation

arXiv:2603. 10827v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speech-aware large language models (LLMs) can accept speech inputs, yet their training objectives largely emphasize linguistic content or specific fields such as emotions or the speaker's gender, leaving it unclear whether they encode speaker identity.
