arXiv:2606. 14784v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding human states and interaction dynamics is a core goal of human-computer interaction (HCI).
arXiv:2607. 11364v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generating immersive, synchronized and cinematic audio for long-form textual narratives remains a significant challenge in multi-modal AI.
Existing multi-speaker dialogue systems bind speakers to utterances through structured supervision: per-turn tags, multi-stream transcriptions, or learnable speaker embeddings. These systems operate within speech-only pipelines that produce clean vocal sequences without the ambient texture of real conversations.

arXiv:2607. 15755v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conversational Speech Synthesis (CSS) aims to synthesize speech with human-like emotional expression and contextual consistency in user-agent interactions.
arXiv:2608. 04479v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-to-audio (TTA) generation has recently achieved remarkable progress in synthesizing realistic audio from natural language descriptions.
arXiv:2606. 00851v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Empathetic spoken dialogue systems must infer a user's emotional state to respond appropriately, yet everyday speech often carries weak, neutral, or ambiguous affective cues.
Recent Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) have achieved remarkable progress in audio perceptual tasks across individual acoustic layers, including speech, sound, and music. However, existing benchmarks predominantly evaluate these layers in isolation, overlooking the complex contextual relationships that arise when multiple acoustic sources co-occur in real-world auditory scenes.
arXiv:2509. 25773v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI models capable of comprehending humor hold real-world promise -- for example, enhancing engagement in human-machine interactions.

arXiv:2608. 06381v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Explainable AI (XAI) has shown promise for human-agent collaboration, yet results rely on hand-crafted policies in custom environments, limiting generalizability to state-of-the-art teaming research.
arXiv:2606. 30543v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the proliferation of speech AI agents, understanding emotional entrainment in conversational interaction has become increasingly important.
arXiv:2606. 18273v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large audio language models (LALMs) have shown impressive capabilities on diverse audio understanding tasks, ranging from speech transcription to music analysis.
