arXiv:2608. 07631v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-based full-duplex voice services allow users to speak while the assistant is responding.
The paper introduces a new target‑speaker unlearning task for automatic speech recognition (TSU‑ASR) that allows certain speakers to opt out of transcription while still indicating their presence. A lightweight Enrollment‑Conditioned Gating (ECG) module is added to a frozen dual‑stream speech LLM, enabling dynamic unlearning of new opt‑out speakers during inference. Experiments on AMI and AliMeeting datasets show significant drops in transcription accuracy for opt‑out speakers while preserving performance for retained speakers.
The paper introduces llmovoice, a middleware that explicitly models voice context for large language model (LLM) serving in voice AI applications. By incorporating speaking rate, background noise, packet loss, and other paralinguistic factors into a bounded context, llmovoice guides the LLM to generate more aligned responses. Experiments show significant reductions in speaking‑rate errors, false interruptions, and model usage costs, especially in long voice sessions.
The paper introduces a frontend‑backend architecture for full‑duplex speech‑to‑speech models that enables tool calls while preserving natural conversational flow. The frontend emits a delegation token and streams ASR transcripts to a text‑based backend LLM, which performs tool calls and returns results that are re‑injected into the frontend via a lightweight prefill‑and‑repeat mechanism before streaming TTS synthesis. In single‑turn evaluations the system achieves 92‑97% tool‑call recall, 81.2% accuracy in rejecting irrelevant calls, and competitive performance on Full‑Duplex‑Bench‑V3 and EVA‑Bench when paired with a large backend model.
Scalable Context Orchestration for Serving LLMs Over Voice presents llmovoice, a middleware that explicitly models voice context—including speaking rate, background noise, and packet loss—to guide large language model responses. By constructing a bounded voice context at each turn, llmovoice improves alignment with user preferences and reduces errors, achieving a 52.4% drop in speaking‑rate alignment error and a 0.9% false‑interruption rate under packet loss. In addition, it cuts model usage costs dramatically, lowering per‑turn cost by up to 24.9× while maintaining 98.7% of baseline answer quality in long sessions.
