The NVVSpeech Challenge 2026: Overview and Lessons for Speech Understanding and Generation with Nonverbal Vocalizations

Nonverbal vocalizations (NVVs), such as laughter and sighs, convey meaning alongside words. NVV-aware speech systems must recognize and generate these events while preserving lexical accuracy and perceptual quality. Yet differences in annotation, resources, and evaluation complicate comparisons, and aggregate scores ca...

Preference Optimization with LALM Feedback for Continuous Autoregressive Non-Verbal Vocalization Generation

We propose a preference optimization framework with Large Audio-Language Model (LALM) feedback for controllable non-verbal vocalization (NVV) generation in continuous autoregressive speech models. To construct preference data without human preference annotation, we build a bilingual prompt corpus by combining NVV-injec...

Source-Adaptive Data Curation for Bilingual NVV-Aware ASR

Nonverbal vocalizations (NVVs), such as laughter, sighs, breaths, and coughs, convey affective and interactional information that conventional automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems often discard. We present a bilingual Mandarin-English system for Track 1 of the NVVSpeech Challenge at ISCSLP 2026, which requires jo...

SpeechAnnotator: A Context-Aware Multi-Agent Framework and Benchmark for Multidimensional Speech Annotation

Recent controllable speech generation requires training data with fine-grained annotations of speaker traits, prosody, emotion, paralinguistic cues, acoustic scenes, and context. Existing workflows often rely on manual correction, paid hosted multimodal services, or fixed processing chains, which limits large-scale dat...

StreamTN: A Low-Latency Streaming Chinese Text Normalization Model for Streaming TTS in Dialogue Systems

StreamTN is proposed, a lightweight LLM-based Chinese streaming TN model that employs a dual-track streaming framework in which input tokens and output tokens are processed on two parallel tracks, enabling low-latency real-time inference without complex prompting.

Long-Tail Rebalancing for Non-Verbal Vocalization-Aware ASR: A Track 1 System for the NVVSpeech Challenge

Non-verbal vocalizations (NVVs) carry important paralinguistic information but are often omitted by conventional automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. The ISCSLP NVVSpeech Challenge requires joint transcription of lexical content and 16 NVV categories under limited and highly imbalanced supervision. We present a...

X-Pred MeanFlow for Streaming Token-to-Mel Speech Decoding

X-Pred MeanFlow is proposed, a few-step streaming token-to-mel decoder that reparameterizes MeanFlow with mel-space prediction and introduces layer-selective block-wise attention to enable continuous chunk-wise generation with bounded context.

Bridging Data, Reasoning, and Alignment: A Unified Framework for Context-Aware Instruction-Following TTS

A Context-Aware Direct Preference Optimization (CA-DPO) method that significantly outperforms the baseline across all objective and subjective metrics, and establishes an evaluation method featuring a 500-sample test set and an LLM-as-Judge framework to independently assess reasoning and execution fidelity.
