Learning Natural Conversational Behavior in Tandem Speech-to-Speech Models with Randomized Guidance

The paper introduces a method called randomized intermediate guidance for training tandem speech-to-speech models, where a large language model (LLM) acts as a backend providing candidate responses while the user is speaking. Instead of simulating the backend’s guidance, the approach derives guidance directly from the conversation corpus, using target responses for informative guidance and randomly sampled responses to simulate irrelevant updates. Experiments on synthetic dialogues and 3.8k hours of real conversations show that this technique yields response quality comparable to LLM-generated baselines while improving natural turn‑taking and audio‑judge naturalness.

Improving Synthetic Data Generation for Argument Mining via Adversarial Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces an adversarial reinforcement learning framework to generate synthetic data for Argument Mining (AM). By jointly training a generator and a discriminator, the system produces structured AM instances that are both accurate and diverse. Experiments show consistent performance gains on three benchmark datasets in both full-data and low-resource scenarios.

State-Grounded Multi-Agent Synthetic Data Generation for Tool-Augmented LLMs

arXiv:2606. 16307v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training tool-augmented LLM agents requires large corpora of multi-turn, tool-grounded conversational data that is expensive to annotate, privacy-constrained in production settings, and largely absent from public datasets.

Efficient ASR Training with Conversations that Never Happened

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.
