This paper introduces a new multi-speaker English dataset for training text-to-speech models. The dataset is based on LibriVox audiobooks and Project Gutenberg texts, both in the public domain. The new dataset contains about 292 hours of speech from 10 speakers with at least 17 hours per speaker sampled at 44.1 kHz. To select speech samples with high quality, we considered audio recordings with a signal bandwidth of at least 13 kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of at least 32 dB. The dataset is publicly released at http://www.openslr.org/109/ .

  1. The Silent Thought: Modeling Internal Cognition in Full-Duplex Spoken Dialogue Models via Latent Reasoning

    eess.AS 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    FLAIR enables spoken dialogue AI to conduct continuous latent reasoning while perceiving speech through recursive latent embeddings and an ELBO-based finetuning objective.

  2. StableToken: A Noise-Robust Semantic Speech Tokenizer for Resilient SpeechLLMs

    cs.CL 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    StableToken introduces a multi-branch architecture with bit-wise voting to create noise-robust semantic speech tokens, achieving lower Unit Edit Distance and better SpeechLLM robustness than prior single-path tokenizers.

  3. Multimodal Large Language Model-Enabled Video Translation: A Role-Oriented Survey

    cs.CV 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The paper offers the first focused review of MLLM-based video translation organized by a three-role taxonomy of Semantic Reasoner, Expressive Performer, and Visual Synthesizer, plus open challenges.

  4. The Silent Thought: Modeling Internal Cognition in Full-Duplex Spoken Dialogue Models via Latent Reasoning

    eess.AS 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    FLAIR enables simultaneous latent reasoning during speech input in full-duplex dialogue models via recursive latent embeddings and an ELBO-based training objective without added latency.

  5. A Survey of Advancing Audio Super-Resolution and Bandwidth Extension from Discriminative to Generative Models

    eess.AS 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A structured survey of audio bandwidth extension that organizes the transition from deterministic discriminative DNNs to generative approaches including GANs, diffusion models, and flow-based methods.
