TextPro-SLM reduces speech LLM modality gap by enhancing input processing

By PulseAugur Editorial · Summary by gemini-2.5-flash-lite from 2 sources

Researchers have developed TextPro-SLM, a novel speech large language model (SLM) designed to minimize the modality gap between spoken and text-based inputs. Unlike previous approaches focusing on output generation, TextPro-SLM addresses the input side by making spoken language more akin to prosody-aware text LLMs. The model integrates a unified speech encoder with an LLM backbone, achieving state-of-the-art performance on paralinguistic understanding tasks with significantly less training data.

    Minimizing Modality Gap from the Input Side: Your Speech LLM Can Be a Prosody-Aware Text LLM

    Speech large language models (SLMs) are typically built from text large language model (TLM) checkpoints, yet they still suffer from a substantial modality gap. Prior work has mainly attempted to reduce this gap from the output side by making speech generation more text-like, but…
