The advancement of multimodal large language models has accelerated the development of speech-to-speech interaction systems. While natural monolingual interaction has been achieved, we find existing models exhibit deficiencies in language alignment. In our proposed Code-Switching Speech-to-Speech Be…
Current end-to-end spoken language models (SLMs) have made notable progress, yet they still encounter considerable response latency. This delay primarily arises from the autoregressive generation of speech tokens and the reliance on complex flow-matching models for speech synthesis. To overcome this…
Specialized web tasks in finance, biomedicine, and pharmaceuticals remain challenging due to missing domain priors: queries drift, evidence is noisy, and reasoning is brittle. We present WebExpert, a domain-aware web agent that we implement end-to-end, featuring : (i) sentence-level experience retri…
Recent years, learned image compression has made tremendous progress to achieve impressive coding efficiency. Its coding gain mainly comes from non-linear neural network-based transform and learnable entropy modeling. However, most studies focus on a strong backbone, and few studies consider a low c…
Speech large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a prominent research focus in speech processing. In this work, we introduce VocalNet, a series of high-performance speech LLMs featuring a scalable and model-agnostic training framework as well as a novel multi-token prediction (MTP) paradigm for s
