Papers with spoken communication
Think, Verbalize, then Speak: Bridging Complex Thoughts and Comprehensible Speech (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to decouple LLMs from spoken communication produce suboptimal results due to mismatches between optimal textual and verbal delivery. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that decouples reasoning from spoken delivery to preserve the full reasoning capacity of LLMs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework preserves full reasoning capacity of large language models . it improves speech naturalness and conciseness with minimal impact on reasoning . |

| Challenge: | Prior work has shown that the information carried by prosodic features is substantially redundant with that carried by the surrounding words. |
| Approach: | They examine the time scale of this relationship, studying how it varies with the length of past and future contexts. |
| Outcome: | The results show that prosody features show some redundancy with future words, but only with a short scale of 1-2 words, consistent with reports of incremental short-term planning in language production. |
