Speculative End-Turn Detector for Efficient Speech Chatbot Assistant (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Spoken dialogue systems with large language models struggle with end-turn detection . this limitation often leads to premature or delayed responses, disrupting the flow of spoken conversations. |
| Approach: | They propose a dataset for end-turn detection that uses a lightweight GRU-based model and a high-performance Wav2vec-based system to make a more challenging classification of distinguishing turn ends from mere pauses. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework significantly improves real-time ETD accuracy while keeping computations low. |
