Generating Synthetic Doctor-Patient Conversations for Long-form Audio Summarization

The paper introduces a synthetic data generation pipeline for long‑context audio reasoning, focusing on first‑visit doctor‑patient conversations and SOAP note generation. The pipeline consists of persona‑driven dialogue creation, multi‑speaker audio synthesis with realistic acoustics, and LLM‑based reference note production, all built with open‑weight models. The authors release 8,800 synthetic conversations, 1.3k hours of audio, and reference notes, and show that cascaded approaches still outperform end‑to‑end models on current open‑weight systems.

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.

When Reasoning Hurts: Source-Aware Evaluation of Frontier LLMs for Clinical SOAP Note Generation

arXiv:2605. 24902v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reasoning-enabled LLMs perform strongly on medical reasoning benchmarks, but it remains unclear whether these gains transfer to structured clinical documentation; we investigate this question using SOAP note generation from clinical dialogue in a source-aware benchmark spanning OMI Health, ACI-Bench, and PriMock57.

Bridging the Gap: Converting Read Text to Conversational Dialogue

The paper introduces Prosodic Adjustment with Conversational Context (PACC), a deep‑learning method that converts read speech into natural conversational speech. PACC analyzes and modifies prosodic features—intonation, stress, and rhythm—using HiFi‑GAN for synthesis, aiming to preserve naturalness and intelligibility while keeping computational load low for real‑time use. Experiments show significant improvements in speech conversion, higher model accuracy, and better Mean Opinion Score (MOS) results, establishing new benchmarks for the task.
