The paper describes Transsion Speech Team’s submission to Task 1 of the MLC‑SLM 2026 Challenge, aiming at speaker‑attributed transcription for multilingual conversational speech. Their cascaded framework includes a DiariZen‑based speaker diarization module, a Qwen3‑Omni‑based long‑form multilingual ASR module with CTC alignment for precise timestamps, and a fusion module that merges diarization and transcription outputs into speaker‑attributed STM results. On the official evaluation set, the system achieved a tcpMER of 15.41% and secured second place among all participants.

arXiv:2607. 12468v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We describe our submission to Task 1 of the 2nd MLCSLM Challenge: a cascaded diarization-then-recognition system that combines DiariZen-Large-s80 (WavLM-Large) segmentation, CAM++ embedding-based two-speaker clustering, and a LoRA-adapted omniASR LLM 7B v2 recognizer, with no oracle segmentation or speaker labels at test time.

arXiv:2606. 16532v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio deepfake detectors often fail to generalize across speakers, as they learn speaker-identity features rather than synthesis artifacts, known as implicit identity leakage.
By Zhuodong Liu, Hugen Lv, Xiangyu Li, Chunhong Yuan
The paper introduces SNAP, a speaker‑nulling framework designed to improve deepfake speech detection. By estimating a speaker subspace and orthogonally projecting out speaker‑dependent components, SNAP isolates synthesis artifacts in the residual features. This reduction of speaker entanglement enables detectors to focus on artifact‑related cues, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance.

arXiv:2606. 06740v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Discrete speech units obtained via k-means clustering of self supervised embeddings entangle phonetic, speaker, and language information, causing speaker mixing and cross-lingual interference in multilingual multi-speaker speech generation.
