Uni-Stream: A Unified Streaming Speech Language Model for Speech Synthesis and Recognition

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Uni-Stream is a unified streaming speech language model that supports both speech recognition and synthesis within a single architecture. Built on compact pretrained speech models, it processes interleaved text and speech in real time and achieves performance comparable to task‑specific models through a two‑stage training approach. The authors also introduce a data annotation pipeline for streaming training and plan to release the generated transcriptions and word‑level timestamps, while analyzing how speech and text representations occupy distinct latent spaces in the model.

Efficient ASR Training with Conversations that Never Happened

Conversational ASR for lower-resource languages and niche domains is limited by the scarcity of domain-matched multi-speaker training data. We propose an augmentation pipeline that generates scenario-level dialogues with participant metadata, maps speaker attributes to TTS voice profiles, and assembles synthesized utterances into speaker-aware simulated conversations.
