Modeling, Scaling, and Decoding: Optimizing Controllable Speech Generation with Nonverbal Vocalizations

Controllable synthesis of nonverbal vocalizations (NVVs) is es- sential for natural and expressive speech, but remains challeng- ing due to their acoustic diversity and imbalanced distribution in existing corpora. To address these challenges, we develop an NVV-aware DiTAR system that models continuous speech latents, e...

The SLT 2026 SmartGlasses Challenge: Benchmarking Egocentric Multi-Talker Speech Recognition and Understanding with Audio-Language Models

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) and multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) have created new opportunities for wearable speech interfaces, with smart glasses providing an egocentric platform for continuous audio sensing and assistance. However, speech recognition and understanding in this setting remain challenging bec...
