arXiv:2511. 11686v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Speech enhancement (SE) requires high-fidelity reconstruction of clean speech that preserves linguistic and paralinguistic cues while maintaining high perceptual quality.

arXiv:2606. 11033v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent efforts to extend large language models (LLMs) to speech inputs typically rely on cascaded ASR-LLM pipelines, end-to-end speech-language models, or bridge/distillation-based adaptation.

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:2607. 29112v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) relies on effective fusion of audio and visual modalities, yet existing approaches treat cross-modal interaction as a single-step operation without structured iterative refinement.

arXiv:2503. 00340v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lightweight models are essential for real-time speech enhancement applications.

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.

arXiv:2606. 09677v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While discriminative models for multi-channel speech separation excel in reference-based metrics, they often exhibit suboptimal human listening quality.
