arXiv:2607. 14753v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in text-to-speech and voice cloning make high-quality spoofing inexpensive and scalable, threatening voice authentication systems, especially automatic speaker verification (ASV).
The paper introduces ContraTalk, a benchmark that tests whether dialogue models truly use acoustic cues or rely on transcript shortcuts. It formalizes cross‑modal disagreement, creates conflict and consistent QA examples, and proposes an Audio Twin representation to expose acoustic evidence to models. Experiments show that while text‑only LLMs perform well on consistent cases, they falter on conflict cases, and AudioLLMs only partially mitigate this issue.
arXiv:2606. 11219v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio language models (ALMs) are increasingly used for speech-based understanding, yet their ability to perform semantic reasoning beyond transcription, Text-to-Audio Retrieval, Captioning, and Question-Answering accuracy remains insufficiently benchmarked.
arXiv:2606. 10246v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Maliciously-created fake speech, including deepfaked and spoofed audio, is proliferating at an alarming rate, and detection models are racing to stay ahead of the curve.
arXiv:2608.27783v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speech language models (speech LLMs) can generate plausible outputs from audio that contains no usable speech evidence. We study this failure...
arXiv:2607. 21820v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio deepfake detectors are trained to distinguish genuine speech from synthetic speech and often perform well on standard benchmarks.
arXiv:2609.09628v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inferring speaker relationships from spoken conversations is an important step towards socially aware speech understanding. However, this task remain...
arXiv:2606. 19325v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing multi-speaker dialogue systems bind speakers to utterances through structured supervision: per-turn tags, multi-stream transcriptions, or learnable speaker embeddings.
arXiv:2607. 02504v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form TV dramas present a formidable challenge for comprehensive video understanding, where deciphering complex storyline often relies on \textbf{speaker recognition}, the task of accurately attributing each spoken utterance to its respective character.
arXiv:2603. 10725v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The modern generative audio models can be used by an adversary in an unlawful manner, specifically, to impersonate other people to gain access to private information.
arXiv:2603. 10827v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speech-aware large language models (LLMs) can accept speech inputs, yet their training objectives largely emphasize linguistic content or specific fields such as emotions or the speaker's gender, leaving it unclear whether they encode speaker identity.
arXiv:2509. 22363v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) integrate audio encoders with pretrained Large Language Models to perform complex multimodal reasoning tasks.
