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.
Large language model agents are increasingly deployed in human-human interaction settings, such as meeting assistants and clinical documentation systems, where they must observe conversations and retain information for downstream queries. Unlike traditional human-assistant settings, these environments are inherently multimodal, involve complex discourse phenomena such as anaphora and deixis, and contain asynchronous or conflicting information from multiple participants.

arXiv:2607. 23242v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed conversational AI, yet high-quality multilingual code-mixed dialogue resources remain scarce, particularly for Indic languages where speakers naturally alternate between English and their native language in both native-script and Romanized forms.
