arXiv:2511. 20973v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) deliver strong performance across speech and audio tasks, but their audio encoders generate high-rate token sequences (e.
arXiv:2607. 20086v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: State-space sequence models are attractive for streaming speech because they maintain compact recurrent state, but scan-style training kernels can have unfavorable constants for short audio tasks.

arXiv:2509.10452v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pretrained automatic speech recognition (ASR) models such as Whisper perform well but still need domain adaptation to handle unseen parlance....
arXiv:2606. 01483v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form automatic speech recognition (ASR) requires both high accuracy and low latency, but existing systems force a trade-off between the two.
Neural audio codecs are a key component of speech processing pipelines, compressing audio into discrete tokens for downstream modeling. However, existing codecs struggle to balance reconstruction quality with token efficiency, often encoding perceptually irrelevant information such as background noise and recording artifacts at the expense of linguistically and acoustically meaningful content.
