1. Locate and Label: A Two-stage Identifier for Nested Named Entity Recognition (2021 · 232 citations)
   The paper addresses nested named entity recognition, where entities can contain other entities. Span-based approaches handle nesting naturally, but they have four weaknesses: they enumerate many low-quality candidates, which is computationally costly; they cannot reach entities longer than the enumeration limit; they…
2. OmniFlatten: An End-to-end GPT Model for Seamless Voice Conversation (2025 · 27 citations)
   Full-duplex voice assistants must listen and speak at the same time and cope with interruptions, overlapping speech and backchannels.
3. ControlSpeech: Towards Simultaneous and Independent Zero-shot Speaker Cloning and Zero-shot Language Style Control (2025 · 10 citations)
   Text-to-speech systems have usually offered one of two abilities. Zero-shot models can copy an unseen speaker's voice but cannot change how that voice speaks. Style-controllable models follow textual style descriptions but cannot reproduce a chosen speaker's timbre. ControlSpeech combines both. It takes three inputs…
4. Dual-Axis Generative Reward Model Toward Semantic and Turn-taking Robustness in Interactive Spoken Dialogue Models (2026 · 4 citations)
   Full-duplex spoken dialogue models (SDMs) must decide both what to say and when to say it. Reinforcement learning could improve this, but current automatic metrics make poor rewards. Timing-oracle proxies, event counts and metric suites each capture only part of interaction quality, and human ratings are expensive…
5. Beyond Hard Masks: Progressive Token Evolution for Diffusion Language Models (2026 · 2 citations)
   Masked diffusion language models (MDLMs) generate text in parallel by gradually unmasking positions. They have two weaknesses. First, once a token is committed, it can never be revised. Second, the model predicts distributions for every position at each step but keeps only a few, so most of that work is thrown away.
6. Efficient Self-Evaluation for Diffusion Language Models via Sequence Regeneration (2026 · 1 citation)
   Diffusion language models (dLLMs) such as LLaDA generate text by iteratively unmasking tokens in no fixed order.
7. Exploiting Out-of-Domain Data Sources for Dialectal Arabic Statistical Machine Translation (2015 · 1 citation)
   Translating dialectal Arabic is hard because dialects are rarely written. Building parallel data means recording speech, transcribing it, and translating it, which is slow and costly. The authors target Iraqi Arabic (IA), where the in-domain resource is the Transtac corpus. They ask whether useful IA–English training…
8. UniVocal: Unified Speech-Singing Code-Switching Synthesis (2026)
   The paper introduces Speech-Singing Code-Switching (SCS) Synthesis. In this task, a single generated utterance moves between talking and singing, and the text alone decides where the switches happen. Existing systems either produce only one mode or, like Bark, need explicit switching tags. The authors present…
