VStyle: A Benchmark for Voice Style Adaptation with Spoken Instructions
Spoken language models (SLMs) have emerged as a unified paradigm for speech understanding and generation, enabling natural human machine interaction. However, while most progress has focused on semantic accuracy and instruction following, the ability of SLMs to adapt their speaking style based on spoken instructions has received limited attention. We introduce Voice Style Adaptation (VSA), a new task that examines whether SLMs can modify their speaking style, such as timbre, prosody, or persona…

The Speech-LLM Takes It All: A Truly Fully End-to-End Spoken Dialogue State Tracking Approach
This paper presents a comparative study of context management strategies for end-to-end Spoken Dialog State Tracking using Speech-LLMs. We systematically evaluate traditional multimodal context (combining text history and spoken current turn), full spoken history, and compressed spoken history approaches. Our experiments on the SpokenWOZ corpus demonstrate that providing the full spoken conversation as input yields the highest performance among models of similar size, significantly surpassing p…

More than a dozen Border Patrol agents turned up in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday
at a rally and news conference that
Gov. Gavin Newsom was holding on congressional redistricting.
The governor’s event had nothing to do with immigration,
and local elected officials expressed outrage
that the federal agents decided to stand there in a brazen show of force outside a museum
where Mr. Newsom and other leaders were speaking.
As the governor was preparin…

Border Patrol Agents Show Up in Force at Newsom Rally
The armed and masked agents assembled outside a museum where the governor was speaking in what Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles called “a provocative act.”

Mind-Paced Speaking: A Dual-Brain Approach to Real-Time Reasoning in Spoken Language Models
Real-time Spoken Language Models (SLMs) struggle to leverage Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning due to the prohibitive latency of generating the entire thought process sequentially. Enabling SLMs to think while speaking, similar to humans, is attracting increasing attention. We present, for the first time, Mind-Paced Speaking (MPS), a brain-inspired framework that enables high-fidelity, real-time reasoning. Similar to how humans utilize distinct brain regions for thinking and responding, we propo…
