arXiv:2606. 04103v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conventional hearing aids rely on fixed, frequency-dependent amplification and compression to manage reduced sensitivity, which often fails to provide sufficient listening support in complex environments, such as situations with multiple speakers (the ``cocktail party'' problem).

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. 26472v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio deepfake detectors often degrade when generators, corpora, or recording conditions change.

arXiv:2606. 04210v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Randomized smoothing (RS) certifies robustness in the vector space where Gaussian noise is added.

arXiv:2607. 00247v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large audio-language models (LALMs) frequently hallucinate by overriding acoustic evidence with language priors.

arXiv:2606. 12662v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech enhancement models typically apply uniform capacity across all frequencies, disregarding the non-uniform spectral resolution of human hearing.
By Damien Martins Gomes, Fran\c{c}ois Capman
Audio deepfake detectors often degrade when generators, corpora, or recording conditions change. We use a Diffusion Transformer (DiT), trained only on bona fide speech, as a frozen reconstruction probe.
arXiv:2603. 00395v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hearables are becoming ubiquitous, yet their sound controls remain blunt: users can either enable global noise suppression or focus on a single target sound.

arXiv:2607. 26410v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present Voice Memory, a inference-only scheme for agentic speech recognition: at stream time, a frozen corrector reads a single per-domain memory.

arXiv:2606. 05121v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio is an inherently interactive modality, yet today's Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) are offline, and streaming audio models each handle only a single task such as streaming ASR or voice chatting.

arXiv:2604. 24199v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose Speech Enhancement based on Drifting Models (DriftSE), a novel generative framework that formulates denoising as an equilibrium problem.

arXiv:2608. 07423v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-latency, low-compute speech enhancement is essential for wearable devices with real-time communication requirements, but strict computational constraints significantly limit on-device performance.
