arXiv:2606. 06837v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scripted vs spontaneous speech detection is appealing for interview guardrails, but benchmark performance can be inflated by shortcuts tied to corpus identity, channel conditions, and recording artifacts rather than speaking style itself.
arXiv:2606. 03957v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conversational ASR for lower-resource languages and niche domains is limited by the scarcity of domain-matched multi-speaker training data.
arXiv:2606. 23335v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Provenance watermarking is increasingly treated as a safeguard for synthetic speech, whether built directly into speech-generation models such as Chatterbox, provided through dedicated techniques such as AudioSeal, or deployed by commercial platforms such as ElevenLabs.
arXiv:2607. 03150v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While deepfake audio detection systems achieve high performance in controlled benchmarks, their reliability often diminishes in the wild.
Conversational ASR for lower-resource languages and niche domains is limited by the scarcity of domain-matched multi-speaker training data. We propose an augmentation pipeline that generates scenario-level dialogues with participant metadata, maps speaker attributes to TTS voice profiles, and assembles synthesized utterances into speaker-aware simulated conversations.
Provenance watermarking is increasingly treated as a safeguard for synthetic speech, whether built directly into speech-generation models such as Chatterbox, provided through dedicated techniques such as AudioSeal, or deployed by commercial platforms such as ElevenLabs. We identify a previously uncharacterized liability: when synthetic speech is watermarked and human speech is not, detectors trained alongside latch onto the watermark as a spurious "watermark => fake" shortcut.
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.
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:2608. 06424v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech recordings often contain missing, corrupted, or incorrect regions that must be reconstructed or modified without re-synthesizing the entire utterance.
Existing multi-speaker dialogue systems bind speakers to utterances through structured supervision: per-turn tags, multi-stream transcriptions, or learnable speaker embeddings. These systems operate within speech-only pipelines that produce clean vocal sequences without the ambient texture of real conversations.
arXiv:2608. 08569v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advancements in Speech Large Language Models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in understanding complex audio tasks.
arXiv:2606. 09019v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Codec-based autoregressive (AR) speech language models have achieved strong text-to-speech (TTS) quality by modeling speech as sequences of discrete audio tokens with large pretrained backbones.
arXiv:2607. 14753v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in text-to-speech and voice cloning make high-quality spoofing inexpensive and scalable, threatening voice authentication systems, especially automatic speaker verification (ASV).
