arXiv:2606. 14459v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems have made remarkable progress on standard benchmarks, yet performance gaps have emerged under real-world distribution shifts, caused by recording conditions, accents, speech impairments, and noise.

Traceback Translators Against Forgetting in Continual Fake Speech Detection

Fake speech detectors are increasingly challenged by the development of new and more accurate generative models. To cope with this problem, continual learning techniques are nowadays widely considered feasible strategies for updating models to new datasets, but they also lead to decreased performance on previously seen samples (catastrophic forgetting).

Proactive for Uncertainty: Cause-Aware Error Diagnosis and Interactive Clarification for Spoken Dialogue Systems

The paper introduces a cause-aware error recovery framework for cascaded Automatic Speech Recognition – Large Language Model (ASR‑LLM) pipelines in Spoken Dialogue Systems. It replaces simple ASR confidence filtering with precision‑focused detectors that use deep ASR latent representations to classify token‑level errors into perception, comprehension, and deletion failures. This fine‑grained diagnosis enables the LLM to execute targeted, multi‑turn clarification strategies, leading to a more than two‑fold increase in recall on domain‑shift errors and significant reductions in word error rate and downstream task errors across varied accents, distortions, and domains.
