SSEmb: Training a Generalizable Speech Retrieval Model Using Only Automatic Speech Recognition Data

End-to-end speech-to-text retrieval is becoming an important capability for voice agents, allowing spoken queries to retrieve relevant documents without intermediate transcription. Training these retrievers typically depends on large collections of spoken query-document pairs that are costly to acquire and difficult to...

EgoVoice: Proactive Spoken Assistance from Egocentric Multimodal Streams

Wearable augmented reality (AR) assistants are moving toward continuous real-world interaction, where they perceive the user's activity through first-person video and audio and provide timely spoken guidance without being explicitly asked. While proactive video assistants, spoken dialog systems, and egocentric task und...

Phrase-Localized Language-Contrastive Guidance: Training-Free Localized Accent Control for Code-Switching Text-to-Speech

Phrase-Localized Language-Contrastive Guidance (LCG), a training-free inference framework that restores a native accent to code-switched phrases in cross-lingual text-to-speech, robustly increases the nativeness of the code-switched phrase while suppressing accent leakage, and preserving overall speaker identity and na...

HEAR Who Said What: Unlocking Speaker-Attributed Reasoning via Counterfactual Voice Grounding

A2R, a 30B model optimized on Counterfactual Audio with Speaker-level Hard negatives (CASH), a dataset designed to guide the model to prioritize acoustic vocal cues over linguistic signals, achieves strong performance on HEAR and exhibits zero-shot generalization to diverse multi-speaker downstream tasks, demonstrating...

DELTA-TTS: Adapting Autoregressive Model into Diffusion Language Model for Text-to-Speech

DELTA-TTS is introduced, a lightweight LoRA-based adaptation framework that converts a pretrained AR TTS model into a discrete diffusion language model (dLLM) for confidence-ordered speech-token decoding and produces sharper text--speech alignment, increases overall decoding confidence, and mitigates the hallucinations...
