arXiv:2601. 12494v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Audio large language models (LLMs) enable unified speech understanding and generation, but adapting them to linguistically complex and dialect-rich settings such as Arabic-English remains challenging.
The paper introduces task-informed parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods for low-resource speech recognition by applying Fisher-Whitened Cross-Covariance Analysis (FCCA) to Whisper and Qwen3-ASR. Two extensions—Asymmetric-Coupled FCCA (AC‑FCCA) and Adaptive‑Rank FCCA (AR‑FCCA)—are proposed to exploit cross‑layer sharing and adapt rank allocation within a fixed parameter budget. Experiments on multilingual datasets show that standard FCCA matches or surpasses LoRA, while AR‑FCCA consistently improves performance across models without increasing trainable parameters.

arXiv:2608. 04351v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) excel at general speech understanding; however, adapting them to fine-grained tasks like Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) remains a significant bottleneck.
SISER is a speaker‑invariant speech emotion recognition framework that combines wav2vec 2.0 for feature extraction with an ECAPA‑TDNN speaker discriminator in an entropy‑based adversarial training scheme. By leveraging self‑supervised representations, SISER reduces reliance on large labeled datasets and suppresses speaker identity more effectively than shallow classifiers. On the IEMOCAP benchmark, SISER achieves a UA of 60.63%, surpassing both the baseline (51.15%) and wav2vec 2.0 without speaker suppression (56.46%).
arXiv:2606. 29335v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal speaker identification systems face two key challenges in real-world deployment: missing modalities and language mismatch between training and testing conditions.
Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) excel at general speech understanding; however, adapting them to fine-grained tasks like Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) remains a significant bottleneck. Current Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) methods typically operate in flat Euclidean space, and this geometry fails to capture the multi-granularity nature of emotion cues, which range from low-level prosody to high-level semantics.
