    SpectCount: Spectrotemporal Counting via Synthetic Signals Improves Large Audio Language Models

    Seonuk Kim, Yonghyeon Jun, Ju Yeon Kang, Jimin Hong, Yoonhyeong Lee, Nam Soo Kim

    eess.AS · cs.AI · cs.SD

    Large audio language models (LALMs) extend large language models with an audio encoder and large-scale audio data. However, the scarcity of high-quality annotated audio data remains a fundamental bottleneck for scaling. Through probing signal detectability analysis, we identify fine-grained spectrotemporal perceptual weaknesses in a foundation LALM. To address these challenges, we propose Spectrotemporal Counting (SpectCount), a...

    SEAM: Shortcut-Aware Real-Time Detection of Scripted vs. Spontaneous Speech for Interview Guardrails

    Vsevolod, Kovalev, Pranay Manocha

    eess.AS · cs.LG

    Scripted vs spontaneous speech detection is appealing for interview guardrails, but benchmark performance can be inflated by shortcuts tied to corpus identity, channel conditions, and recording artifacts rather than speaking style itself. We present SEAM, a shortcut-aware framework for real-time scriptedness detection that combines uniform preprocessing, seam-aware sampling, non-speech augmentation, and a compact DistilHuBERT backbone. With...
