arXiv:2607. 13110v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Since the paradigm centered on convolutional neural networks and recurrent architectures was established in 2020, the fundamental backbone networks for audio-visual navigation have undergone no essential changes for more than five years, making them inadequate to support efficient representation of dynamic multimodal sequences.

arXiv:2510. 20441v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Neural audio codecs have largely promoted the application of language models (LMs) for speech applications.

arXiv:2608. 13817v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human speech production is constrained by physiology, giving rise to characteristic temporal structure on acoustic signals.

arXiv:2602. 10230v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Audio language models process input audio into rich frame-level representations, but the standard approach to temporal localization generates timestamps as sequences of text tokens, which discards the frame-level representations in favor of autoregressive decoding.

arXiv:2607. 08111v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training target speaker extraction (TSE) models for real conversational mixtures remains challenging because large-scale training corpora and clean target speech for supervision are unavailable.

arXiv:2604. 19635v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While generative models have set new benchmarks for Target Speaker Extraction (TSE), their inherent reliance on global context precludes deployment in real-time applications.

arXiv:2606. 19325v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing multi-speaker dialogue systems bind speakers to utterances through structured supervision: per-turn tags, multi-stream transcriptions, or learnable speaker embeddings.

Humans can selectively attend to a target sound and estimate its direction in complex scenarios, whereas such selective localization remains challenging for current deep learning-based systems. Sound source localization (SSL) has achieved remarkable success with deep learning, yet most methods localize all active sources without selectivity.
