arXiv:2608. 08606v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine translation (MT) systems often fail to correctly translate gender, especially when converting from a gender-neutral language like English to a gendered target language such as Romanian.
arXiv:2607. 09891v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio deepfake detection models determine whether speech is genuine or artificially generated, but high overall accuracy can mask substantial performance disparities across demographic groups.
arXiv:2607. 10092v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spoken language models (SLMs) unify speech perception and reasoning, but adapting them to sensitive domains is underexplored, especially when the original training data is inaccessible and the use case demands multilingual, spoken-query interaction.
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. 15001v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Child-centered daylong recordings are essential for studying early language development, but existing speech models trained on clean adult data perform poorly due to acoustic and linguistic differences.
arXiv:2606. 10911v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Claims about the robustness and fairness of deepfake speech detectors are only as credible as the datasets used to train and evaluate those systems.
