arXiv:2510. 05150v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in spoken dialogue language models (SDLMs) reflect growing interest in shifting from turn-based to full-duplex systems, where the models continuously perceive user speech streams while generating responses.
arXiv:2607. 03093v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Thinking has emerged as a critical capability for Large Language Models (LLMs) tackling complex tasks.
arXiv:2606. 07547v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech-based large language models are typically constrained to spoken replies, which limits their user-facing outputs to what can be verbalized and suppresses text-native capabilities such as code generation, structured analysis, and multi-step reasoning in realtime interaction, for tasks that require persistent, structured, and inspectable intermediate outputs.
arXiv:2606. 11386v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Full-duplex spoken language models (FD-SLMs) enable seamless speech interaction by allowing models to listen and speak simultaneously, yet the internal mechanism by which they coordinate listening and speaking remains underexplored.
arXiv:2608. 17605v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conversational AI is moving beyond isolated text prompts toward sustained, multimodal interaction.
Turn-taking in multi-party spoken conversations remains a fundamental challenge for voice-based agents, particularly under dynamic floor competition and varying user expectations. We propose ModeratorLM, a role-playing voice agent that conditions turn-taking behavior on an explicitly assigned role in multi-party settings.
arXiv:2608. 01366v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are integral to complex intellectual tasks, yet output quality remains constrained by user-provided prompts.
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:2607. 20460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current full-duplex (FD) spoken dialogue systems can produce fluid interactions, yet it remains unclear whether they can adapt their turn-taking behavior when explicitly instructed.
arXiv:2606. 13544v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Turn-taking in multi-party spoken conversations remains a fundamental challenge for voice-based agents, particularly under dynamic floor competition and varying user expectations.
arXiv:2606. 01182v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at static reasoning tasks, yet their performance often degrades in interactive scenarios where information must be actively acquired through questioning.
arXiv:2608. 10716v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech-to-speech (S2S) voice agents are increasingly being incorporated into enterprise for customer care and as daily companions for consumers owing to the ease of the conversational modality over text.
arXiv:2607. 16610v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon AI agents are becoming increasingly capable, yet their interaction with users remains surprisingly thin.
