Advances in Full-Duplex Human-LLM Speech Interaction

The field of human-computer interaction is moving towards more natural and seamless communication, with a focus on full-duplex speech interaction. Researchers are working on developing more robust and efficient models for turn-taking detection, dialogue state tracking, and chain-of-thought reasoning. The integration of acoustic and linguistic modalities is becoming increasingly important for achieving human-like interaction. Furthermore, the development of benchmarks and evaluation frameworks is crucial for assessing the performance of these models. Noteworthy papers include:

  • FLEXI, which introduces a benchmark for full-duplex LLM-human spoken interaction, and
  • Easy Turn, which proposes an open-source, modular turn-taking detection model that integrates acoustic and linguistic bimodal information. These advancements have the potential to significantly improve the effectiveness and coherence of conversational AI systems.
