arXiv:2605. 07694v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Single-channel speaker distance estimation has recently achieved centimeter-level accuracy in simulated environments, yet it remains unclear which components of the room impulse response (RIR) the model exploits and how performance depends on the recording conditions.
arXiv:2607. 23293v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image-source-method (ISM)-based room impulse response (RIR) simulation is a useful and physically interpretable tool for acoustic scene modeling, but full-order ISM becomes computationally expensive as the reflection order and room complexity increase.
arXiv:2607. 01527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Room embeddings derived from reverberant speech are often unreliable: speech content and recording degradation can alter the representation even when speaker, room, and source-receiver geometry remain unchanged, degrading downstream task performance.
arXiv:2606. 29031v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In regulated domains such as banking and healthcare, where privacy constraints make real speech costly to collect and retain, synthetic speech from modern text-to-speech (TTS) is an appealing alternative for training automatic speech recognition (ASR) without exposing sensitive customer recordings.
arXiv:2606. 16568v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable turn-taking is essential for spoken dialogue systems.
arXiv:2509. 15210v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Realistic sound simulation plays a critical role in many applications.
arXiv:2608. 08638v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) now supports interactive assistants, personalized media, and accessibility tools.
arXiv:2603. 27998v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Individualized head-related impulse responses (HRIRs) enable binaural rendering, but dense per-listener measurements are costly.
arXiv:2606. 27543v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The variations in vocal effort range (e.
arXiv:2606. 06559v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Full-duplex spoken dialogue models allow voice agents to listen and speak concurrently, enabling natural interaction with real-time overlap.
arXiv:2608. 00656v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a simulation-trained, non-iterative estimator for Task A of the 1st DAFx Parameter Estimation Challenge.
arXiv:2606. 09677v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While discriminative models for multi-channel speech separation excel in reference-based metrics, they often exhibit suboptimal human listening quality.
arXiv:2607. 07985v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We report the empirical reliability of Gemini models as audio judges that score full-duplex agent conversations directly from the raw stereo waveform, tested across three models in the Gemini family: 2.
