    TontaubeV1: Streaming Text-to-Speech with Hierarchical Codec Modeling and Bounded Context

    Fritz Cremer, Jonathan Cremer

    cs.SD · cs.CL · cs.LG

    Text-to-speech systems often face a trade-off between natural prosody and efficient inference: higher perceptual quality typically comes at increased computational cost and latency. We present TontaubeV1, a model that preserves natural prosody while enabling streaming from a single consumer GPU. Speech is encoded by the hierarchical DualCodec representation at 12.5 Hz, which separates a semantic stream from successive acoustic refinements....

    X2Streaming-ASR: wait when uncertain, emit when ready for streaming ASR

    Zhiwei Lin, Kaiqi Fu, Rime Wen, Zehan Liu, Shawn Qin, Roy Gan, Hao Wang, Qian Wang

    cs.SD · cs.AI

    Streaming automatic speech recognition (ASR) for real-time voice agents and full-duplex dialogue must provide accurate partial transcripts with low commit latency. Existing systems commonly use a fixed chunk size, look-ahead, or target delay, or encourage emissions near estimated acoustic boundaries. These approaches do not directly optimize how much additional context to use at each output position under a single-pass, hard-commit...

    Noise Adaptive Streaming Audio-Visual Speech Token Enhancement for Robust Full-Duplex Spoken Dialogue Models

    Bella Godiva, Yeonju Kim, Yong Man Ro

    cs.SD · cs.AI · cs.HC

    Full-duplex spoken dialogue systems enable simultaneous listening and speaking, but their audio-only perception often fails under background noise and overlapping speech, leading to incoherent responses. Recent audio-visual dialogue approaches show that incorporating visual cues such as lip movements improve robustness under audio corruption. However, existing approaches often adapt the large speech dialogue model itself to process visual...
