RelayS2S: Dual-Path Speculative Generation for Real-Time Speech-to-Speech Dialogue
A new arXiv paper proposes RelayS2S, a dual-path speculative generation method for real-time spoken dialogue systems. It addresses the trade-off between latency and response quality, since end-to-end speech-to-speech models can respond instantly and manage turn-taking, backchanneling, and interruptions, but tend to produce semantically weaker replies. The method aims to combine immediate responsiveness with improved response content.
