arXiv:2602. 20967v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) degrades severely in noisy environments.
arXiv:2510. 20441v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Neural audio codecs have largely promoted the application of language models (LMs) for speech applications.
arXiv:2604. 01832v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce GAP-URGENet, a generative-predictive fusion framework developed for Track 1 of the ICASSP 2026 URGENT Challenge.
arXiv:2508. 14623v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper examines the implications of using the Scale-Invariant Signal-to-Distortion Ratio (SI-SDR) as both evaluation and training objective in supervised speech separation, when the training references contain noise, as is the case with the de facto benchmark WSJ0-2Mix.
arXiv:2608. 09288v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio-visual speech enhancement under real-world conditions remains challenging due to unreliable visual inputs and the lack of large-scale training data with realistic acoustic conditions.
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:2606. 14639v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in speech generation have significantly improved the naturalness of synthetic speech, making spoofing detection increasingly challenging.
arXiv:2605. 03297v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: ASR systems based on self-supervised acoustic pretraining and CTC fine-tuning achieve strong performance on native speech but remain sensitive to accent variability.
arXiv:2606. 29031v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In regulated domains such as banking and healthcare, where privacy constraints make real speech costly to collect and retain, synthetic speech from modern text-to-speech (TTS) is an appealing alternative for training automatic speech recognition (ASR) without exposing sensitive customer recordings.
arXiv:2606. 06559v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Full-duplex spoken dialogue models allow voice agents to listen and speak concurrently, enabling natural interaction with real-time overlap.
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:2607. 14846v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current voice AI benchmarks typically evaluate isolated capabilities such as speech intelligibility, word error rate, or text-based dialogue quality, but they rarely test whether systems harness the acoustic information that distinguishes spoken language from its textual representation.
arXiv:2606. 05678v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems have become widely used for multilingual speech-to-text transcription.
