New LLM framework reduces dialogue robot response delays

Researchers have developed a novel two-stage framework to reduce response delays in large language model (LLM)-based dialogue systems, particularly for real-world applications like robots. This system separates the generation of prefatory responses from the main response, allowing for quicker initiation of speech. A field experiment with a route-guidance robot in a shopping mall demonstrated that this contextual preface approach, while having a slightly longer initial response latency than fixed fillers, significantly reduced the gap between the preface and the main response. AI

IMPACT This approach could significantly improve user experience in interactive AI systems by reducing perceived latency and making conversations feel more natural.

    Low-Latency Turn-Taking via Context-Aware Preface Generation in a Real-World Dialogue Robot

    arXiv:2607.23204v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based dialogue systems suffer response delays because generation begins only after final speech recognition. While fixed fillers are a workaround, they become unnatural over time. We propose a two-stage …
