Phone Segmentation and Recognition through Phonological Activation Mapping

Shikhar Bharadwaj, Kwanghee Choi, Stephen McIntosh, Chin-Jou Li, Eunjung Yeo, Daisuke Saito, et al.

Phone segmentation and recognition are inherently related tasks, yet modern approaches typically model them separately. We argue that phonetic structure is already latent in the representations of self-supervised speech models (S3Ms), and one only needs to steer them to solve bot…

An Efficient vLLM-Based Inference Pipeline for Unified Audio Understanding and Generation

Haoran Wang, Jinchuan Tian, Siddhant Arora, Shinji Watanabe

While Large Multimodal Models excel in comprehension, high-throughput inference engines lack native support for multimodal generation. This is severe in Speech Language Models, where generating multi-layered audio tokens via decoupled AR+NAR or synchronous Multi-Token Prediction…
