A new research paper proposes using speech translation to bridge the gap between speech encoders and large language models (LLMs) in Speech LLMs. The paper argues that current architectures have a structural misalignment because encoders often produce language-specific representations, while LLMs operate in a unified, language-agnostic space. By incorporating translation objectives into the pre-training of speech encoders, the researchers found that it improves cross-modal integration and enhances performance on downstream Speech LLM tasks.
