Speech Language Models for Full-Meeting Speaker Diarization: Capabilities and Limitations

Recent advances in Speech Language Models (SpeechLMs), which integrate large language models with speech foundation models, have enabled unified sequence modeling of speech processing tasks. However, many SpeechLM-based approaches to speaker diarization (SD) are tightly coupled with automatic speech recognition (ASR) a...

Listen to the Latents: Self-Correcting Speech Recognition in Large Audio Language Models Through Hidden-State Interactions

Recent automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems increasingly integrate large language models (LLMs) to leverage their semantic knowledge, either externally through logit fusion or internally through warm initialization. However, how to effectively combine these two strategies remains underexplored. In this work, we r...
